Google’s Stock Split Will Cause The New Half To Not Have Any Shareholder Voting Power
When Google announced that they are splitting the company into two halves, it turns out that the newer half will not have any shareholder voting power. Google will be joining the likes of a liquor producer, home builder, and several other media conglomerates that are controlled by families. The current shareholders would have a new nonvoting share for every share they own. This will help Google CEO Larry Page, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt retain a lot of power.

Larry Page: Happiness Is A Healthy Disregard For The Impossible
Google CEO Larry Page wrote a long memo today discussing the growth of Google+ and Android. I would say the best section of the memo is in the conclusion. Page reminisced about the time he spent at a summer leadership course at the University of Michigan. The slogan of the summer leadership course was “a healthy disregard for the impossible.” That idea has stuck with Page ever since, but he said that it has been easier to make progress on “mega-ambitious goals” instead of less risky projects. Only a few people are crazy enough to try. Google AdSense has paid out $30 billion to their partners and it was the result of “failed ‘more’ ambitious project to under the Web. The team failed at understanding the Web, mostly, I think, because they were distracted by their work making advertisements amazingly relevant.”
