????谷歌（Google）總裁——曾經(jīng)的蘋果公司（Google）董事——至少很善于在接受采訪時語出驚人。施密特上周三晚間在92nd Street Y接受了一次專訪。科技博客AllThingsD的皮特?卡夫卡和里斯?加尼斯隨后在博客上發(fā)布了采訪實錄。以下是部分摘錄：

????? “Android與蘋果的平臺大戰(zhàn)是當今業(yè)界的關(guān)鍵一役?！?/p>

????? “微軟（Microsoft）是家運轉(zhuǎn)良好的公司，但他們拿不出最先進的產(chǎn)品?！?/p>

????? “我們致力于解決世界上的實質(zhì)性問題。請看我們的解決方案?！?/p>

????? “讓我們（人類）親自開車真的是個錯誤的決定?！?/p>

????? “蘋果很早之前就決定開發(fā)自己的地圖軟件，（不過現(xiàn)在，他們）發(fā)現(xiàn)做地圖真的很困難?！?/p>

????? “蘋果應(yīng)當繼續(xù)使用我們的地圖。”

????? “我不能討論這些（不得不使用的專利），因為我并不了解全部細節(jié)，而且這個話題讓我很不安?！?/p>

????? “專利大戰(zhàn)只有死路一條?！?/p>

????? “我曾經(jīng)是蘋果的董事，我一直對蘋果有感情?！?/p>

????當被問道最希望擔(dān)任哪家公司首席執(zhí)行官時，施密特的答案是蘋果，因為蘋果的現(xiàn)金儲備最為充沛。

????If nothing else, Google (GOOG) Chairman -- and former Apple (AAPL) board member -- knows how to deliver a good sound bite. Judging from the reporting of AllThingsD's Peter Kafka and Liz Gannes, he rattled off a bumper crop Wednesday night at the 92nd Street Y. A sample:

????? "The Android-Apple platform fight is the defining fight in the industry today."

????? "Microsoft is a well-run company, but they don't make state-of-the-art products."

????? "We're trying to solve material problems in the world. Judge us by our solutions."

????? "It's really an error that we [i.e. humans] are allowed to drive the car."

????? "Apple decided a long time ago to do their own maps … [now they've] discovered that maps are really hard."

????? "Apple should have kept with our maps."

????? "I can't talk about [standards-essential patents] because I don't know the details and because it actually just gets me too upset."

????? "These patent wars are death."

????? "I was on Apple's board, and I'll always have a soft spot for them."

????Asked which company he'd most like to be CEO of, Schmidt answered Apple, because they have the most cash.
