For some reason I read that as if there was a page on Google called Larry. Guess plenty of people made the same mistake with Page Rank though, so I don't feel too bad!

This is why proper grammar is important. With the correct capitalization of proper nouns, there is little room for ambiguity. Of course, that doesn't help in speech...

Well, regular English words can also be used in or as proper nouns, like Pagerank (or if the title of a website at Google was "Google's Larry Page").

Ya know, I never even considered that PageRank was named after Larry.

Except that it was, according to Google: "The first and most well known is PageRank, named for Larry Page (Google’s co-founder and CEO)." http://www.google.com/competition/howgooglesearchworks.html

It seems to be more about the role of Page in the company than the future of Google. A lil' bit about driverless cars and Google Now but mostly on Page, his background and personality.
