Allen & Co Conference Sun Valley
Well it's all quips, jokes and digs at the Allen & Co conference this year attended by industry giants like Google, Apple, Sony and Microsoft.
There were some interesting points raised and of course there was a buzz around town about the Google Chrome OS. But moving away from the serious stuff for once (it is Friday after all), here are some of the best quotes from the conference.
Eric Schmidt on the way things are; "You can't waste money, credit is tight."
Well that's easy for Google to say I guess
Schmidt on Google's dominance and the US government taking a closer look at their company; "We now expect governments to look at what we're doing. We respect their role."
Schmidt on MySpace; "We like MySpace a lot"
Well they ploughed $900 million into it with an advertising deal so now is not the time to admit it was a disaster I guess. Let's see if they renew the deal next year, then we will really know.
Larry Page on when YouTube will make money "just not that important."
Schmidt, a voice from behind Bill Gates when Gates was asked by reporters for his thoughts on the Google Chrome OS "Better if you not comment."
and finally....
Howard Stringer, CEO of Sony Corp. when asked his thoughts about Twitter and the other Social Networking sites "A lot of people are doing very well at making very little money. It's not a club I'm looking to join."
