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.
successful ideas innovation
Almost everyone who has had an idea that's somewhat revolutionary or wildly successful was first told they're insane.
business believe long
We believe strongly that in the long term, we will be better served - as shareholders and in all other ways - by a company that does good things for the world even if we forgo some short term gains. This is an important aspect of our culture and is broadly shared within the company.
technology people important
As devices multiply and usage changes (many users coming online today may never use a desktop machine), it becomes more and more important to ensure that people can access all of their stuff anywhere.
technology differences focus
Excellence matters, and technology advances so fast that the potential for improvement is tremendous. So, since becoming CEO again, I've pushed hard to increase our velocity, improve our execution, and focus on the big bets that will make a difference in the world.
couple technology years
Part of our brand is that we're pretty understated in what we do. If you look at other technology companies, they might preannounce things, and it will be a couple years before they really happen, and they don't happen in the way they said they would.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
believe innovation mobile targeting
We are targeting innovation. We believe mobile applications are essential.
bad basically companies people somewhat
Most people think companies are basically evil. They get a bad rap. And I think that's somewhat correct.
conversation government parameters protect stuff
We can't have democracy if we're having to protect you and our users from the government over stuff we've never had a conversation about. We need to know what the parameters are, what kind of surveillance the government is going to do, and how and why.
