First off, most of your guys on here know me now and my background with Google not being a good one, so I don't have a bias opinion. I think at least the devs at Google DO care and they take pride in their work (like every damn dev should). The problem that happens when your company (Google) services so many is that your voice isn't heard against the noise...(I think weev felt this with ATT). I didn't get a chance to read the comments on the Mayer article (feel free someone to reply a HN link), but if you were getting personally attacked, that's immature of whoever trolled you. HOWEVER.....You can't generalize your experience with Semantics and assume that Mayer will be the same way. I think Mayer is doing a great job, and given her position at Yahoo will lead it the right way. (Still waiting for Yahoo to redesign that ugly homepage though, wasn't she credited for Google's simplistic search homepage?). Side Note: I thought I read somewhere that Google's chief PR (the decider) went to work for the Obama Admin?

  Thanks nivla, I had a chance to speed read most of them. I didn't see too much trolling other than from Dave responding to almost every comment on there (fanning the flames). Just like I said earlier, Dave is personalizing his past experiences and shoving them on Mayer. The CEO of Semantics lead him on, but the BIG DIFF here is that Mayer is the CEO and like I think the brightest comment on there said, Mayer has to have a very thorough plan. She has alot to prove in this position, to shareholders, to her team, the board, and to everyone pushing the PR.
