By: Andy Beal 2006-07-18 You have to give Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, credit for taking some tough questions at a recent conference and being open with his answers - even if a little sarcastic.  Link: open with his answers
Reporter: How many acquisitions do you do? Schmidt: Its one or two a week it seems. Most acquisitions: They are very small. 1-2-3 people and you never, never hear about them. Google CEO Eric Schmidt tells reporters: (During the 2004 IPO process), between the time we filed and the time we went public, the press was among the most unpleasant I have ever experienced. We (Google management) were idiots, we were useless I thought God.It is a terrible feeling of being on the other side of that (press coverage). So we looked at (Googles Web site) traffic and revenue and they were exploding We had a very, very strong quarter right after the worst possible press about the idiots running the company. I dont know what that tells you. Schmidt then paused and begged the reporters to create a new Google press frenzy: So, yes we are IDIOTS " and please WRITE THAT DOWN. You can listen to the audio of the entire interview here. Via JBat.
