When I entered the Austin airport on the heels of the SXSW conference last week, a group of female colleagues approached me, excited to tell me what had happened the day before. During a panel discussion that included Google chairman Eric Schmidt and U.S. chief technology officer Megan Smith, Schmidt interrupted Smith a number of times.
