Nice Try, Google, but You're No Idiot

There is some truth to Schmidt's comments, however. Revenue did blossom after the Google backlash began in 2004, and its stock price soared. But since Google unveiled its kindler, gentler image at the press day on May 10, the stock has basically flat-lined. Google's stock closed at $402.98 on May 10. On Monday, it closed at $403.05.

I've never owned Google stock, but I'm happy to help out Mr. Schmidt and his stagnant stock price. Google's attempt to spin a press it clearly looks down upon is disingenuous and pathetic. And -- oh, what the heck -- idiotic.

There, I wrote it down for you. You can thank me later.
