Google CEO Eric Schmidt, brought in a decade ago to provide suit-and-tie management to the search giant, had a Twitter-size explanation for stepping aside Thursday to make way for the return of co-founder Larry Page.
"Day-to-day adult supervision no longer needed!" Schmidt said on his Twitter feed as word of Google's unexpected shake-up spread.
The announcement that the 37-year-old Page, who with Sergey Brin established Google in 1998, will return to run day-to-day operations as CEO upstaged Google's own good-news fourth-quarter earnings report.
The shake-up capped what is shaping up as one of the most tumultuous weeks in Silicon Valley history. Just three days earlier, Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs announced he was taking an unspecified medical leave, raising questions about the company's future without its iconic leader in charge of operations.
