The Google founders really are brilliant, in a “we do evil” kind of way. Since Steve Jobs declined to lead Google, they looked for a mole to sit on Apple’s board to draft off of Job’s brilliant vision of where the digital future is headed.
It would have been a disastrous fit. Jobs would not be able to be hands-on in creating products. Page and Brin would not be able to keep up or keep any secrets. They needed someone like Schmidt to teach them how to be evil in order to go up against Microsoft when you do not have someone like Jobs.

Page & Brin didn’t want a real CEO but a puppet version of one that they could control at will. They kept Schmidt on a tight leash for years. No way would Jobs stand for that kind of treatment.

Good move. I think Google represents everything wrong with society today in terms of technology. Lack of privacy, insecurity, what is really being told vs. what is not – really harkens back to the Orwellian society Apple tried so hard not to be a part of.
Strangely – I think Google is taking the torch from Microsoft as Microsoft ebbs. Except, in reality – Google is a much scarier monster.
With Facebook – you can NOT have an account or cancel your account (lemmings voluntarily spew their information forth though). But you can’t stop Google from parking in front of your house and stealing information as they snap pictures of your front porch.
