“There's been a big evolution since the days of personal computing. People had a concept of one computing device per family or maybe per person. We've clearly evolved to computing devices becoming more personal.”

“We have seen a lot of interest from Chinese developers on Google Play because the extent to which Android is used. If we can figure out a model by which we can serve those users, it would be a privilege to do so. So I don't think of China as a black hole.”

“Google teams have lots of autonomy, including from people like me.”

“We ship a new version of Google Play Services every six weeks. Typically, 90 percent of users are on the new version of that.”

“India has long been an exporter of talent to tech companies... But it is India that's now undergoing its own revolution.”

“We need to bring Android and Chrome to every screen that matters for users, which is why we focused on phone, wearables, car, television, laptops, and even your workplace.”

“The thing which attracted me to Google and to the Internet in general is that it's a great equalizer. I've always been struck by the fact that Google search worked the same, as long as you had access to a computer with connectivity, if you're a rural kid anywhere or a professor at Stanford or Harvard.”

“Good companies do whatever it takes to make sure apps are great and don't hesitate to add features.”

“I have a secret project which adds four hours every day to the 24 hours we have. There's a bit of time travel involved.”

“If we are building something that users need, and there is a lot of value we are driving, I think how search manifests in iOS will work out just fine.”

“Google search was important - one of the most important applications ever on the Web. People accessed everything through a browser, and for us it was important for making sure we had an option there.”

“My dad and mom did what a lot of parents did at the time. They sacrificed a lot of their life and used a lot of their disposable income to make sure their children were educated.”

“It's a long road. Setbacks don't actually matter.”

“You're going to have 100s of millions of users on Chrome, spanning mobile, tablets, and desktops. That is one unfragmented base. That uniformity is probably better than most of the issues across browsers.”

“There's an evolution from, today we tell computers to do stuff for us, to where computers can actually do stuff for us. For example, if I go and pick up my kids, it would be good for my car to be aware that my kids have entered the car and change the music to something that's appropriate for them.”
