Google disappoints me. They've got a bunch of talented engineers who IMO are the most ethical you'd find in FAANG, but from the very top their leadership has no passion. The founders recently ditched. The CEO has maybe done a lot, but he's never _said_ anything consequential, and that matters just as much. The only clear direction I've seen has been the infamous "frustrate and seduce" tactic mentioned by a YouTube head.
I refuse to believe that this show of gadgetry is just to keep regulators away. I think they're really trying to find their next thing, but the lack of drive is making everything cost so much that they abandon each time. Sometimes it's working out, though. The Chromebook has so far been a success in schools. And a lot of the smaller features mentioned at I/O are real and impressive.
