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 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.

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

Google Operating System (Unofficial Google Blog) (http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/)

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!

[Hehe]

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

[Gridlock]

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.

[SkinnyPupp]

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?

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...

IBM and Mircrosoft are HUGE.

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.

I'd be at the massage place pretty often.. lol

[drunkrussian]

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.

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

Hardware wise, iPhone 4s doesn't have anything against Nexus Prime.
Except for Bluetooth 4.0 :fuckthatshit:

[roastpuff]

Well the A5 chip is actually pretty good in the GPU department with the dual PowerVR 543's...

But yeah, otherwise kind of lacking.

Well, I didn't think that what I said was all that bad, but I'll take my fail slap and learn from it.

Yay google! Be perfect forever :)

Edit:

OMG LOL-I just noticed my new RS catch phrase. I actually laughed out loud.

Well played.

Now a report in the Times reveals that Google X is actually a hush-hush research and development lab where Google uses its billions to experiment and invent what may be world changing technologies of the future.
