I was done years ago and look upon with admiration those done with them a decade or two ago.

Google is just YouTube to me now. I am amazed at how their management hasn’t seriously tackled the reputational crisis their company has. That being their reputation for abandoning their products to save Google money at their customers expense.

Google at this point is a PR machine for Microsoft and their commitment to long term support and I don’t even like Microsoft.

What crisis? They've got billions pouring in through ads on Search, YouTube and Android. They can mess up everything else and keep axing products that only bring in tens of millions because that looks like a pittance in comparison.

The beancounters/MBAs ruining it as usual. Dislike my negative tone here but what else could i say?
