Why would they shutdown Google Labs? And Code search?

Neither helps get people to click +1 and neither is appealing to the non-webmaster Google user thus neither has a chance of increasing the revenue generated by Google's affiliate/advertising business. Google used to like webmasters, doesn't seem true anymore. I expect Google to make bigger strides into becoming the content instead of just the search engine, soon.
