Eric Schmidt completely departs from Google

Eric Schmidt, known unaffectionately in these parts as Eric T. Mole, has quietly ended his 19-year tenure at Google, where he was brought in to be the so-called “adult supervision” to the company’s young founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
In August 2009, Schmidt “resigned” from Apple’s Board of Directors about which we wrote at the time “should have happened the day Google announced Android.”
