I do miss the old Google. They had some good products. Search was search, and it was clearly designed to provide the very best search possible. Unadulterated and honest. Same story with Gmail, despite the ads. No lock in, no rent-seeking.
Too bad, really. The new Google is obnoxious in a "why-are-you-doing-this?", Facebook kind of way.
