Maybe I'm getting old but reading this preaching for the choir is getting me frustrated. Like all groups of engineers you put in a room will make a disruptive technology. Maybe it just burns corporate money without reaching anything.

What disruptive technology came from google's 20%? Companies make a shift from some hackers to a big corporation where you have to report to shareholders: Hey shareholders we are going to burn a lot of money and we hope to invent the next ipod, facebook, … Or maybe not. But’s not our money so let’s do it.
