The typo on Schmidt’s business card is perplexing. This is a $144-billion company, world headquarters for information management, and yet there, in just 21 words, is a typo. Strange. “Amphitheatre” and “Committee,” two spelling bee candidates, are written correctly, but “Chairman” is not. The card says “Chariman.”

Wait. Google knows best. They *must* be spelling it right. We've probably just been spelling it incorrectly all these years!

Hehe, nice. Too bad I can't see his Google e-mail address. Nevermind, so I use his Yahoo one (look at his homepage): EricSchmidt1[put at-character here]yahoo.com
