The Google mentions didn't bother me at all. They happened organically during discussion, and it's natural for Google to be on both of their minds seeing as how they are at Google, he is the ex-CEO of Google, and they are in front of Google employees. Considering all of that, and how pervasive Google is in technology and culture, it would be odd if Google did not come up.
I was there. The Google stuff played well to the crowd, I think. It doesn't come across in the video.
Tina Fey is a professional entertainer...
In fairness, I thought he did a pretty good job. Better than I would have expected for a CEO :D and some of the audience questions were pretty good too.
I suspect he won't be going after Jimmy Fallon's job in 2020, though.
Yes I thought he was pretty good too. If you want a train wreck for a Google talk, look at Conan O'Brien's interview there -- the interviewer was cringe-worthy.
Tina Fey was very good; engaging, interesting, funny. Eric Schmidt probably shouldn't give up his day job to become a presenter.
The Google mentions and plugs seemed a bit nauseating. E.g. the fact baby names can be found via Google doesn't really need advertising.
