Quote of the Day

"Larry's the worst person you want designing your product- he's very smart but not your average user'. To avoid this situation, Chan had a strategy of  giving him shiny objects to play with. At the beginning of one Google Voice product review, for instance, he offered Page, and Brin as well, the opportunity to pick their own phone numbers for the new service. For the next hour the founders brainstormed sequences that embodied mathematical puns, while the product sailed through the review."
