Google CEO Eric Schmidt Stepping Down‏

• "One person's definition of evil is another person's different definition."
• "Google policy is to get right up to the creepy line but not cross it. I would argue that implanting things in your brain is beyond the creepy line. At least for the moment, until the technology gets better."
• "With Street View, we drive by exactly once, so you can just move."
• "I actually think most people don't want Google to answer their questions. They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next."
• "If I look at enough of your messaging and your location, and use Artificial Intelligence, we can predict where you are going to go."
• "We know where you are. We know where you've been. We can more or less know what you're thinking about."
• "If you have 14 pictures on the Internet, within a 95% confidence interval we can predict who you are. You say you don't have 14 pictures? You have Facebook pictures, so there."
• "It's a bug that cars were invented before computers."
• "One day Larry and Sergey bought Android, and I didn't even notice. Think about the strategic opportunities that has created. Sergey found Google Earth one day while he was surfing on the Web. And then he walked into my office and told me he bought them. And I said, 'for how much, Sergey?' And it turned out to be a few million."
• "We want people to be more logged-in to Google."
• "One day we had a conversation where we figured we could just try to predict the stock market. And then we decided it was illegal. So we stopped doing that."
• "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."
• "Every young person one day will be entitled automatically to change his or her name on reaching adulthood in order to disown youthful hijinks stored on their friends' social media sites."
• "Just remember when you post something, the computers remember forever."
• "You can trust us with your data."
