Google's Eric Schmidt is disillusion

In case it's not clear enough, let me quote it again for you --

"Playing catch-up with the competition can only ever help you make incremental gains. It will never help you create something new.

It's important to understand what's going on around you, but the best way to stay ahead is a laser focus on building great products that people need.

This has to be the end result of a hilarious hacker's inspired grasp of irony. There is no way that Eric meant to post this himself, because it's just too easy to be intentional. The icing on the cake is that image that depicts successful individuals (suits) enjoying a premium experience at a premium price (not at a buy-one-get-one-free, fighting the bloody fight to the bottom, budget price).

This has to be a brilliant prank.

The post is promoting a new book How Google Works by Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg.

I fail to see why you needed to make a thread about this on the mobile discussion board.

Wow, even the abstract for that book is a giant load of horse manure.

This is relevant because that'sthe person who has played a large part in the state of Google as we know it. Look at android itself -- it is the very definition of an incremental, copy-cat product. If Google were a religion, it would be referred to as, 'Our Lady of Perpetual Beta' in prayers.

I have not read the book, but if I get my hands on it, you can bet I will. If it turns out that there's more to it than the stuff that comes out of the back end of a horse -- I'll gladly, gladly eat my words. But that would be one of the bigger surprises I could imagine.

Rofl that's hilarious.

Everytime i come here and read your delusional Apple-worshiping posts it makes me remeber why I'd almost consider this place worse than system wars.

I'm not sure what you're reading if you see delusional Apple worship. Judging by the tone and direction of this post, I'm guessing the answer is, "I'm not reading it at all."

That's your choice, but it's not a good one.

i think so,Judging by the tone and direction of this post, I'm guessing the answer is, "I'm not reading it at all."
