1997.07.03 interview with charlie rose (while CEO of Novell)
http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/5473
- it's interesting seeing the difference in the way he acts in this video and in his later Google years; in the later interviews he's much more reserved.
- starting at around 4:30 they're discussing the next 10 years of the internet; pretty interesting
- at around 6:00 schmidt uses an anecdote to show how important recognition / status is to people and how the internet can offer it.

2010.09.24 interview with charlie rose
http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/11217
- at the beginning he states google's main goal as using computers to help humans at the things they're not very good at, and using humans to help computers at the things computers are not very good at: "augmented humanity"
- at around 7:30 he invokes moore's law when discussing smartphones, which suggests he thinks moore's law is still in effect
- at around 9:00 he says the biggest current development in search is the shift from "syntax" to "semantics", which basically just means that search companies will begin to try to understand what you're really asking when you do a search rather than just searching for a bunch of words. he talks about having a personal assistant or "buddy", which is exactly what i have said i would want.
- agh, at 14:15 eric seemed about to say something really interesting about what people would do with google TV when charlie interrupted him.
- ~22:50 he says Microsoft and others were funding think tanks to spread bad information in order to stir up trouble for Google in Washington (with the justice dept)
- ~23:50 he says a key way to avoid being charged with anticompetitive behavior is to give users the option to take all of their data somewhere else.
- ~26:20 - he's optimistic about growth in the US economy; he thinks the deleveraging takes "5 to 7" years (starting when?) but that once we're through that problem things are going to be great. i'm inclined to agree but idk how long it's going to take to get through it.

2011.11.09 short clip from charlie rose's "green room"
http://www.charlierose.com/view/clip/11350
- discusses career advice: basically, get out there and meet people because serendipity won't happen if you're sitting in your room.
- mentions having just finished reading "The Icarus Syndrome"
2014.11.09 - NYT - Review of 'How Google Works' by author of The Everything Store (re: Amazon)
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/09/books ... nberg.html
- I checked out the book while at the Stanford bookstore and I came to the same conclusion. It looks like it was almost entirely ghostwritten with a heavy reliance on existing public information. It would have been more interesting if the ghostwriter had just interviewed Schmidt on the different topics covered and had published those interviews.
- Nevertheless there seemed to be some useful information in there.
