SPEAKING TRUTH to power. “”So we get hauled in front of the Congress for developing a product that’s free, that serves a billion people. OK? I mean, I don’t know how to say it any clearer,’ Mr. Schmidt told the Post. ‘It’s not like we raised prices. We could lower prices from free to . . . lower than free? You see what I’m saying?'”

Plus this: “Mr. Schmidt is not going to be confused with Milton Friedman or the libertarian Mr. Rodgers. But it’s a sign of the discontent with Washington that even a mainstream Silicon Valley executive feels he needs to tell it like it is.”
