| | Google's Schmidt Clears The Air |
 | | Stung by recent criticism of the company's actions in recent months, Google CEO Eric Schmidt held a roundtable lunch Thursday with a number of journalists in which he talked a lot about the company, how it is perceived, and where it is headed. |
 | | He said the decision of how to act in China was "one of the most controversial decisions the company has ever made," and it took over a year of internal arguments before the company came out with its policies. |
 | | Overall he said, the advertising industry in china is quite nascent, so there are very small amounts of revenue at stake, but what is more important is giving the Chinese people access to as much information as possible as quickly as possible. |
