Google CEO Eric Schmidt Talks Microsoft, Government Regulation (VIDEO)

Google CEO Eric Schmidt talked to Fox Business this week about Microsoft's new search engine Bing, the government's response to the financial crisis, and Google's still ascendant position in the tech and advertising world.

Here's Schmidt on Microsoft:

"It's not the first entry for Microsoft. They do this about once a year. From BING's perspective they have a bunch of new ideas and there are some things that are missing. We think search is about comprehensiveness, freshness, scale and size for what we do. It's difficult for them to copy that."

Schmidt also talked about how technology could have prevented the financial crisis, and the current approach to regulation by the Obama administration:

This may sound naive, but I had no idea how Google tracks our web searches until this past week...

I decided to shop the J.Jill website for some vacation apparel, and dont you know all my google searchpages now have a J.Jill add on them?

Like I said, I may be naive, and had no idea... I am creeped out... do all search engines do this to us???

WTH???

I'll take Microsoft products over Google anyday. After watching Eric Schmidt's interview, I believe he sees BING as an absolute rival...which it is. Schmidts comments about Microsoft doing something like this once a year, and gaining attention from being a monopoly, was totally uncalled for. He sees them from a monopolistic view only and not as a viable contender with great products. Google is offering a lot of things free these days trying to bring Microsoft down..but their motive is not pure and they themselves are using subliminal suggestion to make money through their ads. Microsoft has been around for many years and has made many people a lot of money...though hated at one time, they are now recognized as the BEST in their field with millions + of users all over the world. Google is the newbie and while making a lot of people money now, will soon give way to the true professionals and tech genius once again. MICROSOFT
