If you missed last night’s talk at 92Y with Google’s Eric Schmidt, AllThingsD’s Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, here’s the full video. Follow along with Peter Kafka’s extensive live-blogging of it. If you’re in a hurry, Fortune has a rundown of Schmidt quotes:
- “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.”
