He means the spirit of Google is dead, not the company itself:
> It is indeed possible, even likely, that Google can continue onward without the kinds of changes that I and other Google supporters have advocated over the years, and still make bushels of money.
> But it won’t be the same Google. It will have become the “conventional company” kind of Google, not the firm of which so many Googlers are so rightly proud, and that so many users around the globe depend upon throughout their days.
> The Google that we’ve known will be dead
- freetime2 8y agoI suspect that "spirit of Google" probably means different things to different people. To declare Google "dead" just because he doesn't like some of its recent decisions seems awfully self-centered. "Google is changing" would be more accurate. And of course it is - as every living entity does in 20 years. Have you changed at all in the past 20 years? Would you describe yourself as "dead" because of it?
