If your business is static, you're likely to have issues.

Big companies have always needed and cooperated in areas where it made sense.

The Star Trek computer doesn't seem that interesting. They ask it random questions, it thinks for a while. I think we can do better than that.

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.

If we were motivated by money, we would have sold the company a long time ago and ended up on a beach.

As we transition from one screen to multiscreens, Google has enormous opportunities to innovate and drive ever higher monetization. Just like Search in 2000.

You can try to control people, or you can try to have a system that represents reality. I find that knowing what's really happening is more important than trying to control people.
