We don't have as many managers as we should, but we would rather have too few than too many.

I have always believed that technology should do the hard work - discovery, organization, communication - so users can do what makes them happiest: living and loving, not messing with annoying computers! That means making our products work together seamlessly.

I like going to Burning Man, for example. That's an environment where people can try out different things. I think as technologists we should have some safe places where we can try out some new things and figure out what is the effect on society, what's the effect on people, without having to deploy kind of into the normal world.

Lots of companies don't succeed over time. What do they fundamentally do wrong? They usually miss the future.

It is a tremendous responsibility for us to have all the eyes focused on what we do and give people exactly what they need when they ask for it.

One of our big goals in search is to make search that really understands exactly what you want, understands everything in the world. As computer scientists, we call that artificial intelligence.

Basically, our goal is to organize the world's information and to make it universally accessible and useful.
