believe innovation mobile targeting
We are targeting innovation. We believe mobile applications are essential.
people focus innovation
You have to combine both things: invention and innovation focus, plus the company that can commercialize things and get them to people.
successful ideas innovation
Almost everyone who has had an idea that's somewhat revolutionary or wildly successful was first told they're insane.
google innovation balance
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.
goal long innovation
Our goal is long-term growth in revenue and absolute profit.. so we invest aggressively in future innovation while tightly managing our short-term costs.
adult deal lots might technology
There's lots of technology you can use to deal with those issues. There might be an adult section, or something like that. I don't think that is going to be a big issue.
believe companies cycles hurt initial investors minimize share small suffered
Many companies have suffered from unreasonable speculation, small initial share float, and boom-bust cycles that hurt them and their investors in the long run. We believe that an auction-based IPO will minimize these problems.
accept companies earnings intend larger less line opposite pressure rather steer
Many companies are under pressure to keep their earnings in line with analysts' forecasts. Therefore, they often accept smaller, predictable earnings rather than larger and less predictable returns. Sergey and I feel this is harmful, and we intend to steer in the opposite direction.
hard met needs trying user
We really don't think about it that way. We're trying hard to find user needs that aren't being met at all.
emerging generate google likely products revenue time
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.
artistic component technology tried
I do think there is an important artistic component in what we do. As a technology company I've tried to really stress that.
dreams easier few people since
I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. Since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition. In fact, there are so few people this crazy that I feel like I know them all by first name.
affects create everybody incredibly intuitive loves people services technology twice useful
We want to build technology that everybody loves using, and that affects everyone. We want to create beautiful, intuitive services and technologies that are so incredibly useful that people use them twice a day. Like they use a toothbrush. There aren't that many things people use twice a day.
accepted best high
This is the best day of my life. It's better than prom. It's better than anything in high school. It's better than getting accepted into college.
