I am sometimes something of a lazy person, so when I end up spending a lot of time using something myself - as I did with Google in the earliest of days, I knew it was a big deal.
Too few people in computer science are aware of some of the informational challenges in biology and their implications for the world. We can store an incredible amount of data very cheaply.
My vision when we started Google 15 years ago was that eventually you wouldn't have to have a search query at all. You'd just have information come to you as you needed it. And [Google Glass] is now, 15 years later, sort of the first form factor that I think can deliver that vision.
As we go forward, I hope we're going to continue to use technology to make really big differences in how people live and work.
Technology is an inherent democratizer. Because of the evolution of hardware and software, you’re able to scale up almost anything. It means that in our lifetime everyone may have tools of equal power.
I wish there were a hundred services with which I could easily look at such a book; it would have saved me a lot of time, and it would have spared Google a tremendous amount of effort.
We want Google to be the third half of your brain.
I would like to see anyone be able to achieve their dreams, and that's what this organization does.
We just want to have great people working for us.
If Google Books is successful, others will follow.
I don't think we like the precedent of it, and so we're fighting it. I think we're right.
I don't know what would have happened if we hadn't won that AOL deal,
We will intensify our efforts to build out our infrastructure overseas and to develop products that are tailored to individual markets.
This was a decision we reached after a number of years speaking to the human rights groups, and specifically people who really cared about China on human rights. I understand why other people might have other views.
