I believe it's their corporate culture. Google just hires problem solvers, good engineers. It's a sort of dual of Apple, that prioritizes design and marketing.

I believe it's their corporate culture. Google just hires problem solvers, good engineers. It's a sort of dual of Apple, that prioritizes design and marketing. The result is you get things that Just work (and nothing else). While Apple gets you things that Just works. I don't see real vision in their products those days. None of them have real vision (Apple is too design centric and afraid to try new things, Google lacks creativity).
