????佩奇：對(duì)整個(gè)業(yè)務(wù)而言，我認(rèn)為我們需要做一些突破性的，但又不能立竿見(jiàn)影的事情。而現(xiàn)在 Google X 做所的事情能夠更加獨(dú)立。

????我們常常進(jìn)行這樣的探討：我們有這么多資金，這么多人才，為什么我們不做更多的事情？你可能會(huì)說(shuō) ，蘋(píng)果的產(chǎn)品線非常非常少，但該公司過(guò)得可好啦。但是我不滿意，我覺(jué)得我們有大把大把的機(jī)會(huì)，可以開(kāi)發(fā)出更多、更好的技術(shù)讓全世界人民生活得更幸福。在這么多機(jī)會(huì)中，谷歌可能只是瞄準(zhǔn)了其中的 0.1%。不過(guò)。可能所有科技公司加起來(lái)也只有1%。這意味著還有 99% 的領(lǐng)域完全是空白。投資者們總是憂心忡忡：“啊！你們?cè)伊四敲炊嘣┩麇X在這些瘋狂的產(chǎn)品上！”但這些產(chǎn)品正是他們?nèi)缃袼偪褡分鸬腨ouTube、Chrome和Android。如果你做的事情不瘋狂，那你肯定沒(méi)找對(duì)事。

????SurveyMonkey為什么推遲首次公開(kāi)募股 《財(cái)富》雜志

????“我創(chuàng)建的第一家公司就上市了，我也曾經(jīng)在雅虎（Yahoo）工作了七年。我無(wú)數(shù)次看到，大量公司決策是為了影響公司當(dāng)時(shí)的股價(jià)而做出的，”戈德伯格說(shuō)。戈德伯格是硅谷最優(yōu)秀（也是最受歡迎的）的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)公司高管之一。他還近距離見(jiàn)證了去年最混亂的IPO，也就是Facebook公開(kāi)上市。戈德伯格的太太、謝麗爾?桑德博格正是Facebook的首席運(yùn)營(yíng)官。Facebook股價(jià)如今仍然跌破發(fā)行價(jià)。“公開(kāi)上市的原因太多了，” 戈德伯格說(shuō)，比如企業(yè)成長(zhǎng)資金、品牌認(rèn)知度以及在企業(yè)客戶中的信譽(yù)等等。“不過(guò)，這些原因?qū)ξ覀兌疾贿m用。”

????Google's Larry Page on why moon shots matter [WIRED]

????Wired: Now you have a separate division called Google X, dedicated to moon-shot projects like self-driving cars. Why did you decide you needed to set up an entire department for this?

????Page: I think we need to be doing breakthrough, non-incremental things across our whole business. But right now Google X does things that can be done more independently.

????You know, we always have these debates: We have all this money, we have all these people, why aren't we doing more stuff? You may say that Apple only does a very, very small number of things, and that's working pretty well for them. But I find that unsatisfying. I feel like there are all these opportunities in the world to use technology to make people's lives better. At Google we're attacking maybe 0.1 percent of that space. And all the tech companies combined are only at like 1 percent. That means there's 99 percent virgin territory. Investors always worry, "Oh, you guys are going to spend too much money on these crazy things." But those are now the things they're most excited about—YouTube, Chrome, Android. If you're not doing some things that are crazy, then you're doing the wrong things.

????Why SurveyMonkey is holding off on an IPO [FORTUNE]

????"I took my first company public and worked at Yahoo (YHOO) for seven years, and I saw plenty of decisions made because of what it would do to the stock price that week," he says. One of Silicon Valley's best networked (and well liked) executives, Goldberg also witnessed up close last year's most tumultuous IPO, the still-underwater debut of Facebook (FB), where his wife, Sheryl Sandberg, is chief operating officer. "There are lots of good reasons for going public," says Goldberg, ticking off growth capital, brand recognition and credibility with business customers as chief examples. "We just don't have any of them."
