Google co-founder Larry Page is either rude or “wildly self-possessed,” according to Barry Diller. When the IAC chief visited Google headquarters a few years ago, “Diller was disconcerted that Page, even as they talked, stared fixedly at the screen of his PDA [personal digital assistant],” Ken Auletta writes in “Googled: The End of the World as We Know It,” excerpted in The New Yorker this week. Auletta relates: “[Diller] said to Larry, ‘Is this boring?’ ‘No. I’m interested. I always do this,’ Page said. ‘Well, you can’t do this.’ Diller said. ‘Choose.’ ‘I’ll do this,’ Page said matter-of-factly, not lifting his eyes from his hand-held device. ‘So I talked to [Google co-founder] Sergey [Brin],’ Diller said.”
