this kind of nonsense will be the death of google

  I'm not so sure. Googles core product is search and that has been fairly rock solid as long as it has existed. A lot of the fuckery has been around their other products and I think the company could probably afford to shut down most of them and continue to run fine.

    I always wonder if the other projects are just retainer projects. They dont really care as much what happens, they just dont want those engineers on the open market.

      I think they saw Microsoft miss the Next Big Thing™, and they're afraid it could happen to them, so they're investing in everything while the AdSense/AdWords cash cows last.
