“Fast
learners win.”
“The
computing world is very good at things that we are not. It is very good at
memory.”
“The
internet is really about highly specialized information, highly specialized
targeting.”
“Google is
more than a business. Google is a belief system. And we belief passionately in
the open Internet model.”
“The internet
is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn’t understand,
the largest anarchy that we have ever done.”
“You have
to fight for your privacy or you lose it.”
“I don’t
believe society understands what happens when everything is available, knowable
and recorded by everyone all the time.”
“If you
have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing
it in the first place.”
“I still
believe that sitting down and reading a book is the best way to really learn
something.”
“I used to
say that you’ll have 10 IP address on your body… and it looks like that’s going
to happen through medical monitoring.”
“Half of
Google’s revenue comes from selling text-based ads that are placed near search
results and are related to the topic of the search. Another half of its
revenues come from licensing its search technology to companies like Yahoo.”
“The rise
of Google, the rise of Facebook, the rise of Apple, I think are the proof that
there is a place for computer science as something that solves problems that
people face everyday.”
Have a happy week everyone.
