Tim O’Reilly:
With opt out, the interests of the public, the authors, and the publishers are all protected. The public gets an amazing utility, the ability to find which books contain the desired information as easily as they can now find web content; readers, authors and publishers all get a windfall as search helps people find books that are currently completely ignored by both publishers and retailers. And if some forgotten gem gets discovered, and the copyright holder isn’t convinced that Google Print’s revelation of the book is enough reason to keep it in the index, and they want to monetize it in some other way, they can opt out! What more can you ask for?

Steve Lohr, reporting for The New York Times:
Microsoft reshuffled its management team yesterday in an effort to make it more nimble as the company tries to lift its growth and compete with fast-moving rivals like Google.
Under the plan, seven business units will be collapsed into three divisions, each led by an executive who will carry the title of president.
Things have not been going well for Microsoft the last few years, but this is a sign that Gates and Ballmer recognize that. Gates is crazy-ass smart.
