Every story I read about Google is about us vs some other company, or something else, and I really don't find that interesting. We should be building great things that don't exist. Being negative is not how we make progress.

You need to get one thing done well, or else you don't have permission to do anything else.

I have over 2 million followers now on Google Plus.

People are starving in the world, not because we don't have enough food, but because we're not organized. And computers are part of that.
