"Take off the 'do no evil' rose-colored glasses, GoogleGuy. You know what makes Google purr."
I think a lot of things make Google purr, personally. It's cool that we introduced an entirely new AdWords interface and color customization. We want to give our advertisers and publishers good tools. But I also think it's cool that we introduced a new toolbar beta with pop-up killing and automatic form-filling. I think it's cool that we introduce new services like news.google.fr, with over 500 French language sources. It's also cool that we launch new domains such as google.co.in that give more places where people can find a familiar UI. It's cool that we are offering news alerts on labs.google.com. I think it's cool that we're constantly looking for new ways to improve search, both behind the scenes and with new operators like the tilde operator (~). Making money is nice, but I also like that we're also introducing lots of helpful things that improve search. That's just my quick take though--if other people have different opinions, they're welcome to them.
