As Google’s now-former CEO Eric Schmidt said on Twitter, “Day-to-day adult supervision is no longer needed.”  When Larry Page and Sergey Brin brought Eric Schmidt into Google’s fold, it was to run the company started by two 20-something software geniuses fresh out of college.  These days, Page and Brin are both in their mid-30’s, and are ready and willing to take over the reigns of their own company.  Google CEO Eric Schmidt is out as of April; co-founder Larry Page will take over as CEO and Sergey Brin will remain president of technology.

It is believed that Schmidt will be accepting a position in the Obama Administration when he steps down officially in April.  As for Page, he’ll soon find out that being the point man for a billion-dollar corporation will be a lot harder than he thought, but if anyone is ready for the challenge, it’d be him.  While Schmidt handled the hard part of building the company, Page will have to handle the hard part of fighting off challenges from Facebook and Apple, as well as lingering old foes like Yahoo, Microsoft, and AOL.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
