[VIDEO] Eric Schmidt on Charlie Rose

I'm on a Charlie Rose kick this week. The embedded video is an interview with the very smart, articulate, and forward thinking Google CEO, Eric Schmidt. I will be the first to admit I'm not as business savy as my fellow UR bloggers, Alex and Evan, and so I really enjoy hearing the way intelligent CEO's walk through the challenges the challenges they face -- it allows me to develop and hone my not-so-business-ey mind.

Alex and I always talk about the role of Google in the future. Neither of us like the "trust us" attitude that Google has adopted. On one level it's difficult to argue with their mastery of search and usability -- the major tools I use online are predominantly Google products. On another we all know corporations are only 'not evil' as long as it remains profitable.

Nevertheless, it's a great interview. Even if you throw it on in the background while doing something else, it is quite insightful.
