People are going to copy your product if you build great stuff. Just because Yahoo has a search box doesn’t make it Google.
Even Apple, notorious for keeping a tight grip on its products, allows fierce competitors like Google, Amazon, Spotify, and Microsoft to offer their apps on its phones and tablets.
I get Google alerts that automatically let me know when someone’s calling me a nutjob.
I have more faith in doing something creative for a cable station or something like Yahoo or Google or Amazon. What Netflix did with ‘House of Cards’ and David Fincher was brilliant. That is inspiring to me. I think there is more chance for creativity in animation, it just hasn’t happened there yet.
In the offseason, sometimes I’ll go on Google and see if anything’s up about me, if anything’s being said about me.
People who want to know who I am, or my history, put my name into Google.
Google, Microsoft and Yahoo should be developing new technologies to bypass government sensors and barriers to the Internet; but instead, they agreed to guard the gates themselves.
We never saw Google+ Circles or Facebook Lists as reflective of the way our friendships play out.
I’m not big on looking up myself. I don’t get Google alerts, and I don’t look on blogs.
Google is one of these products that I think is incredibly habit-forming, and it’s the kind of product that shows this characteristic of something that we use with little or no conscious thought.
I have relentlessly beat the drum for Google’s ‘two-step’ authentication systems for Gmail and other services, which radically reduce the likelihood that your account can be hacked from afar.
I would suggest everyone to check on Google how we can save our environment.
Google has established a pattern of lobbying and threatening to acquire power. It has reached a dangerous point common to many monarchs: The moment where it no longer wants to allow dissent.
The U.S. government is saying that my website enabled piracy when the entire Internet is enabling piracy. Every ISP that connects people to the Internet is enabling piracy – Google is, YouTube is, everybody is.
Google teams have lots of autonomy, including from people like me.
It’s all men on my channel. All my comment sections are engineers at Google.
In this age of the Internet, if you are going to go see someone, you usually look them up first. It can be an advantage and disadvantage. Most of the time, people can Google you and see a couple clips and say, ‘Oh I am going to go.’ They can kind of co-sign off on you.
Regulation often helps Big Industry remain entrenched in power. The burdensome costs of complying with any new regulation would be a rounding error for the likes of Facebook and Google, but it might completely destroy a promising start-up poised to challenge their dominance.
The newspaper offers something very different from Google’s aggregators. It offers a value system, an idea of what matters in the world. Newspapers need to start articulating that value.
What can we learn from the battle between data and design? What can we learn from the relationship between Google and Apple? Clearly no one school of thought is right: Apple and Google are both wildly successful and profitable companies that changed the world.
I feel like it really marks a new era for Microsoft under Satya Nadella, Alex Kipman, Phil Spencer, and a number of other people who are really committed to the platform being a healthy ecosystem for everybody and not just an extracted business like you see on the Facebook or Google side.
It took two months from the day my fiance proposed to my first Google search for ‘wedding planning: how?’ Now, let me interrupt myself here and share how much I hate using the word ‘fiance.’ It’s so fancy, and it’s hard not to sound like a jerk saying it. Which is why I will be using my own word for fiance: gloob.
I think the only difference between me and other people is that when I hear of an interesting historical incident, I immediately write it down and Google it.
When I did Google Wave, everyone had to be in Sydney, and a lot people actually traveled there to be part of it. There was a lot of isolation. There were a lot of things we kept secret from the company while working on Wave – just like you would at a startup.
My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they’re having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of society. As a world, we’re doing a better job of that. My goal is for Google to lead, not follow that.
Think of everything in Seattle – Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks. Then you go down to Silicon Valley – Intel, Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter. What does New York produce?
Why bother with Google when I have a wife who knows everything about everything!
I never Google myself because that way madness lies.
We need to make sure that the things we are already working on turn out to do the things we believe they can do and creating value both for the world and ultimately for Google.
There is an obsessive focus on speed at Google.
A feeling I got from working at Google was that technology could solve any problem. Yes, it’s fantastic, but what I realized later was there’s technology, and there’s people. Google had its list ordered: Technology. People. And I think the right order is: People. Technology.
Before Google, and long before Facebook, Bezos had realized that the greatest value of an online company lay in the consumer data it collected.
You can’t go into Youngstown, Ohio, and tell everybody they’re going to be retrained and go work for Google or Apple.
Google is a very responsible company. It’s a generous company, but it’s very frugal in many ways.
All sorts of factors contribute to what Facebook or Twitter present in a feed, or what Google or Bing show us in search results. Our expectation is that those intermediaries will provide open conduits to others’ content and that the variables in their processes just help yield the information we find most relevant.
With the Google Brain project, we made the decision to build deep learning processes on top of Google’s existing infrastructure.
I don’t look at negative comments because my parents and family don’t let me. My big sister controls my Instagram, and my big brother controls my Twitter. I also don’t really Google myself or anything like that.
Type ‘What is th’ and faster than you can find the ‘e’ Google is sending choices back at you: ‘What is the cloud?’ ‘What is the mean?’ ‘What is the American dream?’ ‘What is the illuminati?’ Google is trying to read your mind. Only it’s not your mind. It’s the World Brain.
Google will continue to be the place of choice, and we wanted to signal that very clearly to our employees.
We ship a new version of Google Play Services every six weeks. Typically, 90 percent of users are on the new version of that.
After I do my first writing of the day, I will generally look at Twitter and Google News – and that’s my big media secret. I look at Twitter and I look at Google because they pull all the headlines from other websites.
I frequently have scenes that take place in places I’ve never been or characters who have professions that I know nothing about that I’ve got to research. But that’s what Google is for.
I go to Buzzfeed and ‘Huff Po,’ IMDB, ‘Deadline.’ And then I just Google myself, like ‘Aasif Mandvi in a hat,’ and see what comes up.
Nokia and Research in Motion needed a modern operating system. They could have bought Palm or Android before Google did, but they didn’t. Today, it’s probably too late, and at the time they would have been criticized for overpaying, but as they say – shift happens.
When you think about the guys who started Twitter, and the Google guys, and the Facebook guys and the Napster guys, and the Microsoft guys, and the Dell guys and the Instagram guys, it’s all guys. The girls, they’re being left behind.
Many jobs at Google require math, computing, and coding skills, so if your good grades truly reflect skills in those areas that you can apply, it would be an advantage. But Google has its eyes on much more.
One thing is very clear from the chatter I see on Chinese blogs, and also from just what people in China tell me, is that Google is much more popular among China’s Internet users than the United States.
I have realised more and more that great companies, founded for a long-term purpose, such as Google or Facebook or SpaceX, may do more good in the world than any other vehicle that we have.
Imagine a world where Apple, Google, and Intel were Chinese companies. It would be scary.
Facebook collects a lot of data from people and admits it. And it also collects data which isn’t admitted. And Google does too. As for Microsoft, I don’t know. But I do know that Windows has features that send data about the user.
Samsung and Apple seem to think that they’re going to provide everything. Apple believes services will drive hardware, while Google wants to own each user regardless of hardware, so you have differing philosophies.
The C.E.O. of Google doesn’t look like a Dick Cheney World Domination sort whom we should worry about as Google ogles our houses, our oceans, our foibles, our movements and our tastes.
If you Google me, you’ll find plenty of ‘dumb blonde’ references – even though I graduated with honors from Stanford and studied at Oxford University. I don’t let it bother me.
