There's a lot of quirkiness to Google Glass and a lot of stuff that Google still has to figure out. One of those things, according to ol' Google CEO Eric Schmidt, is talking out loud to control Google Glass. In a talk at Harvard yesterday, Schmitty literally called it "the weirdest thing".

Eric Schmidt, Google's talkative executive chairman, has launched a mini offensive over the company's controversial UK tax affairs, claiming Google is a key element of the tech scene that's driving the UK's recovering economy so we ought to be grateful for its presence instead of moaning about its suspiciously low tax bills.

A transcript released by Wikileaks shows that silky-smooth fugitive Julian Assange had a five-hour meeting with Google overlord Eric Schmidt back in 2011, with the Google man requesting the chat due to an interest in charting the formation and operation of Wikileaks in his forthcoming book.

Google's executive chairman, once CEO, Eric Schmidt, has been talking up a storm at Google's Big Tent Summit in India today. The latest quip was an answer to a direct question about when we can expect Google Now on the iPhone. Apparently we'll "need to discuss that with Apple". That sounds a lot like a Google Now app's stuck in Apple's approval process. Read More >>

In addition to giving North Korea a what-for, Eric Schmidt has also been working on some other projects. He's got a book coming out about China, for instance, and after getting some time with the preliminary drafts, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that it's taking some serious shots at the superpower.

Samsung? Lenovo? Sony? Dell? Nah. This was the favourite computer of Kim Jong-Il, the dead North Korean dictator, keen observer and purveyor of all things fattening: an Apple MacBook Pro 15. Read More >>
Eric Schmidt's trip to North Korea in order to spread the good word about open Internet has been kind of strange from the start. Today, he posted on Google+ how he warned the country that it might be left behind. You know, Internet. Politics. All that jazz. Schmidt's daughter, who accompanied him on the "vacation" has now shared her—more candid—take too. And man, it seems like it was a weird trek. Read More >>

North Korea's led the charge in a lot of areas, fictional animal lair discoveries, for one. But South Korea's crazy cousins to the north aren't exactly known to excel at internet culture.

Kim Jung-Un is on a roll: first he launches a successful-ish rocket and enters the 20th century, and now Google's top dog is paying his impoverished kingdom a visit to talk Internet in a country where nobody can use it. Uh. Read More >>

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Eric Schmidt was quizzed about the relationship between Apple and Google, among other things. His take? They're like countries trying to get along politically — not teenagers brandishing guns at each other. Right. Read More >>
