A Critique on Larry & Sergey that made me smile.
Regarding the co-founders' interests in keeping the Google machine well oiled:
"Sure they have some interest, in the same way a millionaire poker player has an interest in a $10,000 hand. They can afford to act imprudently, and if it doesn't pan out they'll never notice the difference. Once your bank account has 10 digits, you're pretty much immune to anything short of complete and utter economic collapse. Legitimate worries of such an individual would be that the dollar becomes less valuable than the material it's printed on, or that the not-so-small island they just bought is precariously close to collapsing into the sea."
