I like Larry Page in his role as CEO of Google. He still says weird stuff, but nothing as creepy as Eric Schmidt used to. :)

Mr. Page argued that people’s instinctive reactions to new technologies were often negative. Once we see the utility in the new stuff, we often realize that it isn’t as scary as we once thought — and soon may realize we can’t live without it. “In the early days of Street View, this was a huge issue, but it’s not really a huge issue now,” Mr. Page said of the company’s project to send a fleet of cars across the globe to snap photographs of public roadways. “People understand it now and it’s very useful,” he said. “And it doesn’t really change your privacy that much. A lot of these things are like that.”

People are still angry at many of Google's tech, it's just not as high on the fuck-that list as other things right now.
 
I miss Eric Schmidt. He might have said really creepy stuff, but at least he was being semi-honest about what Google was doing to people.
