Sergey Brin and Larry Page: Inside the Google Machine

This was a short video whose original audience was probably either shareholders or employees of Google. I found it very interesting, especially the global model at the beginning where you could see the searches taking place, and therefore the infrastructure of the Internet.

They also mentioned that employees of Google are allowed to do what they want with 20% of their time, and that some people invented Google products with this "free" time. It reminded me of a version of the Pareto Principle, "80% of the time people are working and 20% of the time they are goofing off."
