Eric Schmidt, Google’s CEO, spoke to the World Economic Forum that was meeting at Google yesterday. He took on a number of issues. Viacom lawsuit. Cookie lifetimes. Personalization and privacy. Good wrapup of all the latest issues hitting Google lately.
At about 24:30 he briefly pulls out his iPhone.

This is so unfair that some people – like above video of length 32 minutes – can publish videos longer than 10 minutes on YouTube but all others, myself included, are allowed only 10 minutes! This sucks and proves that “do no evil” of Google is a LIE!

Robert: nowadays directors or guru’s license on YouTube is not enough – I reckon that 10 minutes is reserved for certain companies + for people who had directors account before general 10 minutes limit was introduced:
We’re no longer offering the option to upload videos longer than 10 minutes, regardless of your account type. If you see a video on YouTube that’s longer than 10 minutes, it’s probably owned by one of our content partners. There are also some users who can upload longer videos because they were given this permission before the feature was removed.

Eric in this video says Google fixes a problem when they become aware of it. That is untrue based on my personal experience.
I handed him my card at SES San Jose last August and told him of problems with Google’s dysfunctional recruiting process for a role even though I had numerous internal referrals from people stating that I’d make a great Google employee. He seemed completely unaware of how severe this problem is and how it damages Google’s brand.
He stated that someone would get back to me and asked me to also give my card to his publicist – Eric told me that one of them would get back to me in a week or so. I’m still waiting to hear from them.
Considering they are still using temporary Resume Screeners who know nothing about search or understanding relevant competencies or educational backgrounds – I’d say they not only didn’t contact me, but also forgot all about it.

P.S. The interviewer refers to part of this video as “being on the record”. I recall this language creating a stir in another Google incident recently?

The only problem I see is a snarky comment by you that suggest he shouldn’t be able to use the tools he feels necessary to accomplish his goals. You want him to show up at the conference on a horse dressed in a burlap sack? Give us all a break dude.

Jon Bell: It’s called people being haters. They want an iPhone and they don’t have one…but Eric does…but Eric is Rich…and they are not…
They hater complex continues. If Google was a small company this would be considered cool that he would get an iPhone from a big company like Apply.
Now on the other hand now that Google is international and so big it’s scary the fact he has an iPhone makes people think he is apart of some special group.
Or maybe I am insane?

Poverty is a relative condition.
So the only sure way to eliminate it is for ALL wealth to be eliminated. (Even a slight amount more than your neighbor would make you, relatively, “wealthy”.)
So I call on all of you “relatively” wealthy as well as truly wealthy people to go out and destroy all your wealth. $$, homes, cars etc. You can’t give it away as that would just cause someone else to be – relatively – wealthy, not eliminate “poverty”.
I call on you.
Do it now!
Go on, I’m waiting!
You go first! 🙂

@ Sanity: I feel that the I-phone hype is a great campaign to confuse and stress out competitors..behind the scenes they might work on secret really breakthru technologies. I remember being surveyed about the I-phone in Q 3 or Q 4 last year.Back then it really sounded like a killer toy. Gotta admit I´d buy one though(maybe for the good looks only ;-)..luv big displays in a way.. ).

Why do we care what some wealthy guy has bought recently? Chances are he didn’t even buy it and it was given to him because he is a smarmy rich guy. So who cares? Why waste time hating this guy for an iphone? So what if you don’t have one? Who CARES? Why do you want an iPhone anyway? Will it buy you groceries or pay your overdue MMORPG accounts? (Nitpickers, that was a joke I KNOW those accounts will stop when you dont pay)… Anyways most of these cmments on here are so pathetic. WAAAAH. He gets more than 10 minutes. Open your eyes to reality folks. The goodle admin already explained that nobody gets that anymore…. they were “grandfathered” in and so those that were NOT given the limitation ORIGINALLY can STILL post over 10 minutes. You’d want that too if you were an original account holder. But you aren’t so quit WHINING about it!
