"He may have a car like anyone elses but a plane better than most heads of state. Would have seemed like a smaller plane that used less oil would have been a smarter decision, but then again, it is their money."

Why we do not live in a planE?

I can’t imagine there’s a shareholder alive who likes to hear stories like this.

It is somewhat curious particularly after saying to Times Magazine that money has not changed them much.

TIME: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO SUDDENLY BE SO WEALTHY?

BRIN: It takes a lot of getting used to. You always hear the phrase, money doesn't buy you happiness. But I always in the back of my mind figured a lot of money will buy you a little bit of happiness. But it's not really true. I got a new car because the old one's lease expired. Nothing terribly fancy--you could drive the same car.

None really knows if that quote was accurate regarding their alledged dispute(s). We should give them the benefit of the doubt.

But one thing is obvious, since the lawsuit is NOT with Brin or Page - but between Blue City and Jennings, it appears to be unprofessional for Jennings have made the comment he is \\\"quoted\\\" as making above - (if he DID say that).

When someone is paying you potentially thousands of dollars - if not millions - to provide a valuable service for them, do you show your appreciation by pubically calling their tastes \\\"STRANGE\\\" - and to add insult to injury - blabber to the media about their private arguments?

They have absolutely every right to choose their bed sizes and whatever other esoteric luxuries they feel would make their lives happier.

It is not as if they were asking for any immoral or illegal porn or S&M equiptment

@Teddie: There’s a reason it’s called “Air Brin & Page”.

John, for those of us who don’t pay for the Journal, do you know of any other links for the story?

I don’t buy this story. If this was Brin & Page’s private purchase, why would Schmidt ever be there? Makes no sense.
