Sergey Brin, in this priceless exchange from 2000, gets the future hilariously wrong.

Ince: Do you see yourself as a competitor of Yahoo?

Brin: No.

Ince: No?

Brin: Well not any more than we're a competitor for say Upside magazine — to the extent that people read things on our Web sites... Basically, we want to stay focused on what we do well, which is getting people to more useful information. We don't want to be building out lots of services, which is what other companies do well, like Yahoo.
