REALITY CHECK FOR THE GOOGLE BOYS

摘要

GOOGLE FOUNDERS Sergey Brin and Larry Page pride themselves on flouting convention.They bypassed investment bankers when they first issued shares in August,2004.Just days before the stock's debut,they drew regulators' ire by giving an interview to Playboy,which violated so-called quiet rules.And they made it a formal company policy not to issue financial targets,which almost every public company does quarterly.
