Google Thread
 

Sick of Apple getting all the cred. Am I going to war for google? Nah...
But I need a thread to brag about my team too.






Google Crisis Response


I'm in the engineering industry.
This one really hits home for me.


Google isn't selfless. But they are good for the world.

I can't wait until Zagat ratings are integrated into my web searches and google maps.
Official Google Blog: Google just got ZAGAT Rated!

Good site to keep up with all the latest Google news:

Google Operating System (Unofficial Google Blog)

My best friend from HS started working for them in NYC... but he can't divulge anything :(

He is always posting his meals and pics from the Google campus, damn they treat their employees well. Unlike steve jobs who treated everyone like shit. I would really like to visit them some time!

My cousin just quit from Google, and I had the chance of visiting him while I was there... their kitchen is basically a AYCE buffet with dishes that changes from day to day.

But I think working in Google is very different than anywhere else.

I'll quote something my cousin told me "at other work, you think why am I working with a bunch of stupid people?. In google, you think why am I so stupid?" :D

Watch some of that change when they are no longer on top. And let's face facts, there is always some company that is getting ready to change the world, and make you irrelevant.

It's easy to give out free lunches and throw money at sustainability when you have billions rolling in.

What's the issue? Can't see a day when their relevance isn't as much as it is now?

Neither could IBM.
Neither could Microsoft.
Hell, neither could GM
I can go on and on.

Companies come and companies go.

Shit man, at one point RIM/Blackberry were THE KING shit in mobile. Now, they are dying. Four years!

Google has diversified some, but they aren't insulated against market changes.

And when that happens, sometimes there are cut-backs. And all I'm saying is what gets cut back? The lunch.

I'm sorry I didn't explain this all out for you in the 1st post. Thought quick and concise would do the trick.

I just don't get why you would even say that.. I am still :seriously:ing

Like what does it have to do with anything?

Plus Microsoft is far from irrelevant :fuckthatshit:

Microsoft is still relevant. IBM is huge. WTF are you talking about?

Was unaware of Chrome remote desktop, that's awesome

And google is WAY more diversified at this current moment than any of those companies were at their peak. I'd almost daresay than all of them put together, but I think IBM has some crazy stuff in the closet. They are laying down FIOS to a city, google wallet is going to become a beast. I think Apple might have missed their chance with it, or at least will be off to a very slow start.


This is a warning video about how bad google could be, but I think it illustrates my point about just how much coverage they have in any different industries. The world is driven my information now, and google knows pretty much everything.

For the most part, I love Google as a company and the products they make. Not taking anything away from the other companies. Most of the products they make are pretty useful, I like that they take a lot of every day tools and improve them immensely. Starting from the search engine, to the browser, maps, etc...

No iPhone, no want

IBM and Mircrosoft are HUGE.
Just because they do not advertise as much.
Especially, IBM. Them bitches be crazy

Don't you watch jeopardy :fullofwin:

Chef Abroad had a special about the Google cafeterias. Worth a watch if you have time. Probably not hard to find on torrent.

You can apply this same logic to Apple and Amazon, etc. These large companies keep pushing it further to know everything about us to target us.

True that,

IBM had more revenue than apple in 2010, they cater to the corporate and business which is guaranteed revenue and never have to advertise.

so they actually live on site???
Thats soo ball'in
I'd be at the massage place pretty often.. lol

lol ibm and microsoft make more money than google, what a terrible example. i see what you mean though - all companies will have peaks and bottoms..this is obvious though, its the nature of business. treating your employees well in the process and having a good triple bottom line will not harm you, rather it will prolongie your peaks and shorten the bottoms.

in short: google rocks.

They advertise using media aimed at businesses.

wow google.... hehe <3

Nexus S is such a way better phone than iphone4s. Their screen pics/quality > iphone anyday

Nexus Prime vs. iPhone 4s is where it's going to be in terms of a showdown IMO.
