It's kinda crazy how little there is to show from a year of effort for 139,995 employees.



You're kidding right? I'd imagine the large majority of employees are working on their existing products, not the ones they present as new every year.

You know, their large portfolio of industry leading services that are used by billions of people every day. That kind of thing.

Judging how Google Images and Google Maps have evolved over the years, I kinda wish they'd stop.


Quite the opposite. They could showcase an impressive list of competitors that haven't been launched, thanks to all their would-be employees working for FANG.


I think maybe these tech companies need more MBAs and middle managers whose only existence is to 'trim the budget' and isolate their team's work under their own little banner so they can use it as a parachute to glide to the next company. That will surely get the creative juices flowing at any organization I think.
