I find this whole Eric Schmidt-is-a-Google-spy thing terribly amusing, and not because the Fake Steve Jobs is still doing his thing with joyful aplomb. No, the whole situation is funny because Apple's board of directors doesn't direct Apple. Seriously, in the history of corporate boards of directors, can anyone think of a board that is less needed than Apple's?

Schmidt or No Schmidt, Apple's Board Doesn't Steer the Ship
