Google CEO Talks Business

Slashdot exist solely for this purpose ;)
fuvoo: watch something
Let's imagine you're a CEO and you're running a sales force. How can you get your sales force to generate more revenue?
Tell them to call up CowboyNeal and ask them where the "Google Story for the Day" is and why it wasn't posted before 5:00pm EST.
I am looking for solutions for my enterprise level e-synergy. Can Google help me actualize this?
Schmidt: Transparency is not necessarily the only way you achieve security. For example, part of the encryption algorithms are not typically made available to the open source community, because you don't want people discovering flaws in the encryption.
I hope he didn't really mean that; I had a fairly good opinion of him, but that statement is (IMO) a pretty serious misunderstanding of The Way Things Should Be. We (the security-loving Internet elite) want maximal transparency for all of our systems, cryptographic and otherwise, so problems are found and fixed... right?
Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
I looked them up on MSN search I cant find anything about them. Why is Slashdot posting stories about piss ant little companies that no one has ever hear of?
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
Next, my request is to make sure they go for M$ and Yahoo head on. I need GoogleBiz (to check my stocks), I need GoogleMusic, GoogleRadio and all that is possible.
Eric Schmidt is really busy on showing just how progressive Google is right now. I just got out of a talk at University of Washington by him in which he addressed many interesting Google policy questions ranging from responsibilities, censorship, and corporate structure. They're really trying to establish that they aren't just another fad and are trying to find a way to meet the demands of an exponentially increasing task of information aggregation and retrieval.
Interestingly, in our Computer Science department at UW, there is definitely an aura about Google. Everyone wants to work for them. They seem to defy all of the standard business models that we have grown to hate (ie: Office Space) and use a 70%, 20%, 10% rule that allows you to work on Google-related work, Personal-project-google-related work, and just personal work. I won't drag on about their structure, but I'm wondering if their business model and ideas will now spread into the mainstream corporate world.

A Google GMail [TM] Appliance.
Being stuck using *shudder* Outlook at work makes me wish we had GMail mailboxes at work.
Even if I could invite everyone in the company to use GMail, I'm sure they don't want our company data in a server we don't even control. But if there were some GMail Appliance, not unlike their search appliance...
Oh well, who am I kidding? It's probably in the works already... I just need to convince the boss higher ups that Outlook sucks ass (not hard...) and one of those would be much nicer whenever Google finally gets them out of beta...
I believe you meant to say, "Resistance is futile. You will be indexed."
Gee, Chris, do you think calling your customers "putz" is a good idea?
I, for one, welcome our new Antichrist overlord.
