Could it be possible that employees designing the google home ecosystem can't actually afford homes in the bay area? If everyone is renting, then they likely have to make do, and just imagine what owning a home might be like.
- wutbrodo 7y agoWhat does owning a home have to do with the comment above? Calendar integration has nothing to do with whether you pay a mortgage or rent.

- jschwartzi 7y agoThe least they could do is set up a test lab on campus and have testers spend time living in it. Google isn’t the type of company to make that sort of investment in product quality. They don’t seem to believe in manual processes even when they’re superior to automated processes. So it doesn’t surprise me they have difficulty delivering a high quality home automation suite.
- martin-adams 7y agoRight, I finally got what you were referring to. So I think you're considering Google Home as in home automation. Maybe my frustration is actually the Google Assistant which I happened to use through a Google Home device. Either way, the experience for consumers is shockingly bad the moment you have an experience that is outside of their simplified 'marketing' message.
