Quote from: "Eric Schmidt (CEO of Google)"When I showed up, I said, "You've got to be kidding." Then one day, very early on, I was in a meeting where an engineer said, "That would be evil." It was as if he'd said there was a murderer in the room.

Interesting reaction those Googlians had...  The whole article is available

I do wonder how the whole Google Book Search will end up, with the pending lawsuits.
Prayin' for a 20!

Google is a company im very curious to see in about 10 years.  They are arguably the fastest growing company in the world, a massively over-inflated stock, extremely brilliant minds, a narrow business focus.



If some of the rumors that they have surrounding them, it could lead to some good diversification, or it could lead to a large scale failure.
