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.

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

We are excited about Internet access in general. With better access to the Internet, people do more searches.

I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. I know that sounds completely nuts. But, since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition. There are so few people this crazy that I feel like I know them all by first name. They all travel as if they are pack dogs and stick to each other like glue. The best people want to work the big challenges.

We understand the need to balance our short- and longer-term needs because our revenue is the engine that funds all our innovation. But over time, our emerging high-usage products will likely generate significant new revenue streams for Google as well as for our partners, just as search does today.

Google will fulfill its mission only when its search engine is AI-complete. You guys know what that means? That's artificial intelligence.

How exciting is it to come to work if the best you can do is trounce some other company that does roughly the same thing?
