I think Google is a great company, and they're doing really cool things. But they're not doing things that are going to put us, I think, into the next generation of technology.

There's this open question of what Google is going to be a decade or more from now. Google X isn't the only answer to that question, but it was built as a place to do some of the exploration to find some great new problems for Google to tackle.

Google has been doing well. As much as possible we're trying to share back with the employees. They will continue to create a lot of value.

Google was a venture-funded company. Being part of that brings an energy to the company.

To me, the biggest surprise is that Google still functions despite the explosion in the number of sites.

Google is in an amazing position to be the target of tons of lawsuits that will set precedent for many important things for us on the Internet.

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.

The only thing Google has failed to do, so far, is fail.

The next Google is more likely going to come from outside the U.S. Whether it's in Europe, I am not sure. A lot of things have to change.

It's actually not unlike Google at that stage of development. They had an up-and-running site. It wasn't losing very much money, it wasn't making very much money, but it was growing.
