Larry Page曾就谷歌请教过乔布斯，乔布斯认为谷歌正在变成微软

　　虽然乔布斯因谷歌开发Android与Schimidt“交恶”，但在乔布斯的生命最后阶段，仍决定与谷歌现任CEO Larry Page修复关系。Page曾上门向乔布斯虚心求教如何运营谷歌，乔布斯对Page说，在谷歌成长后，应该考虑谷歌“希望成为一家什么样的公司，而谷歌现在业务铺得有些过宽”。乔布斯还告诉Page，谷歌产品线过宽过滥，使得谷歌面临着“正变成下一个微软”的风险。

　　乔布斯还曾建议Google执行长佩吉(Larry Page)，应简化企业并且加强产品聚集。他今年卧室与佩吉开会时说，找出你想聚集的 5 个产品，专注在这些产品上并将其余撤掉;因为它们会拖垮你，让你变成为微软。

　　We talked a lot about focus. And choosing people. How to know who to trust, and how to build a team of lieutenants he can count on. I described the blocking and tackling he would have to do to keep the company from getting flabby or being larded with B players. The main thing I stressed was focus. Figure out what Google wants to be when it grows up. It’s now all over the map. What are the five products you want to focus on? Get rid of the rest, because they’re dragging you down. They’re turning you into Microsoft. They’re causing you to turn out products that are adequate but not great.
