Robert Scoble:
About the Google Glass sensor. When will Rally CEO talk about sensors that catch the Google Glass eyes movement?

A:
First of all Robert, I did not want to see any photos of the shower you uploaded to my blog. (To prove that Mr. Scoble briefly does not take off Google Glass, add a photo showering on Google Glass to your Google+ accountuploadJokes about what you did). I had to turn off the mobile phone before I got to this stage. It's crazy, is not it easy?

Q:
Will the day come when the web becomes a mobile operating system someday?

A:
We are investing a lot to make the web an operating system. Personally, I am very sad about the acts of the industry related to the web. Chat is a good example. We have been continually offering to allow cross-platform collaboration with someone. Microsoft has just responded this week, though. Not only will we become practical, we are also looking at what other people are doing.

Q:
How does Google keep us free of speech?

A:
Protecting the freedom of speech is one of the things that I am interested in today 's business. We are constantly striving to protect your private information and freedom of speech is part of it. We are trying to make the request from the government as open as possible.

Q:
What should I do to help more women in the development department?

A:
SergeiI asked a lot of women to solve the problem. Because we do not want our company to be men alone. First of all, we have to start with having young women interested in technology.

Q:
Why do people hide their ills?

A:
The answer to that question is probably insurance. If you have sick experience you might worry that you may be refused when you apply for insurance to an insurance company. But that does not mean anything. I think that we must change the fundamental system of insurance. Because insurance should be in order to protect people.

Q:
"People are too negative," but what should I do to make the world positive?

A:
That's a good question. I think people are afraid of change. We are changing at a tremendous speed, but there are some things that does not change much like the law. Laws made before the Internet is born can not adapt to technology. It may be necessary for someone from us to enter other fields and help people in that field understand the technology. However, we do not want the world to change at such a great speed. We should have more safe space to challenge new things.

Q:
Please give us a word about lawsuit against Android by Java and Oracle.

A:
We want to build a good relationship with Oracle, but unfortunately it does not look like a possibility. For them, money is more important than anything.
