I don't think anyone at Google feels happy about it, but they've been in some sense, you know, enslaved to their business model, and so they have to satisfy their advertisers.
The most interesting thing about Google is its founders hated advertising.
But to value every company as if they are the next Google, rather than valuing them all as if one of them might be, is pretty much the definition of a bubble.
My mind works like Google for images. You put in a key word; it brings up pictures. See language for me narrates the pictures in my mind.
Most fourth graders can't say why Abraham Lincoln is an important historical figure? Wow. This is far more distressing than if the news had been that fourth graders were bad at reciting multiplication tables, because you can, in fact, Google that.
You're able to use a search engine, like Google or Bing or whatever. But those engines don't understand anything about pages that they give you; they essentially index the pages based on the words that you're searching, and then they intersect that with the words in your query, and they use some tricks to figure out which pages are more important than others. But they don't understand anything.
Google or other search engines are examples of AI, and relatively simple AI, but they're still AI. That plus an awful lot of hardware to make it work fast enough.
Ideas, Mike Jones, an engineer at Google explained, were like babies - everything about their environment said they shouldn't exist. But they do. You can't dwell on problems too early, or they will swamp the virtues and you will decide not to do the project.
[Google is] an omnivorous collector of information, a hyperencyclopedic vault of human knowledge, an unerring auctioneer, an eerily skilful student of languages, behaviour, and desires.
I read Google News and use NetNewsWire to keep up with general and tech news.
There's a lot of Google fascination out there and we share it, and we're going to compete, we're going to compete very, very hard.
I'm going to f---ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to f---ing kill Google.
Memory works according to meaning, and when something is important to you, the Google in your brain brings it forward all of a sudden.
I never Google myself. Only if I want to feel really terrible about myself would I do that.
Coming from Google, you don't exactly spend a lot of time at Microsoft.
The Inventor Of Google Glass Says It Could Outsource Our Brains
That's what Google taught me. Aim higher. Udacity is my playground - to radically experiment and find out. I've seen the light.
Stop looking at the Web as merely a display opportunity and not a way to interact. That does not create a new business model, it just shifts one that isn't growing and is outdated. The reason sites like Google are stealing advertisers from daily newspapers is not because Google has more eyeballs. It's because Google used the interactivity of the Web to deliver a new, better way to advertise.
I never ever Google myself. That way madness lies.
What we'd like to think of YouTube as is a part of Google with very overlapping goals and values. We're a fundamental part of the advertising business for Google.
Just to clarify James Damore, Google, what he was saying is the gender gap in tech industries is because women are treated differently because they're not as technically inclined, and that's what got him fired, and everybody at Google had a conniption fit over it.
Google is reeling right now. This is the kind of thing, this is the kind of charge that just sends leftists up the tree, that they're unfair, that they're discriminating on the basis of gender. Ladies, tell Google to prove it to you that the guy who wrote the memo is wrong. What you say to Google is, "Show me the money." Go for the money. Tell 'em you want money. Tell 'em you want raises. Tell Google to prove it. Don't join the protest march and start throwing underwear and bras. Just demand the money. They're reeling right now. Hit 'em!
I really try to avoid, you know, rolling out the history. The people are so important to me, and what happens to them, how they react, how things happen to them, this is what is important. I feel that if I can tell THAT story well, then people will go and Google the rest and fill in what they need to know.
Started using Google+ while I was living in space.
The more angels we have in Silicon Valley, the better. We are funding innovation. We are funding the next Facebook, Google, and Twitter.
