Eric Schmidt Asks Photos Of Him & Wife To Be Kept Private

The Boston Herald reports that while Google’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, was at the Circus Flora in Nantucket, he asked reporters not to take or distribute pictures of him and his wife. Marie-Claire Rochat sent an email to “the island media” stating; “One couple has requested that no photographs of them be published – Wendy and Eric Schmidt. It is, of course, important that we respect their wishes.”

The article then mocks Eric Schmidt for this request being that he was so upset with News.com for publishing Schmidt’s personal info that was found on Google. Schmidt was so upset, that Google blacklisted News.com for a period of time.
