@wheel amen - I bet every one in google has given up on getting a pay rise thats suposedly linkd to googles social performance

Actually, I was pondering this myself just yesterday. Now that Google's a public company, at some point the shareholders are going to revolt over all this nonsense that they do - continued applications that don't make money, flounder and die. We're not there yet, but someday the arguments about company culture will no longer outweigh the need to focus on business practices that make money. Maybe it even takes a change at the management level to make that happen, via a shareholder revolt. I give it 5 years.
