Google is now "in the hands of a true corporate radical"

I like new technology but not at the cost of dismantling working systems. Many of Google's ventures did not pan out, should we expect even more of them?
Very scary: Google is now "in the hands of a true corporate radical" | ZDNet: "Mr Levy writes that Google staff have figured out ways of dealing with Mr Pages’ “nuttier instincts.”

… Googlers have learned that the best way to counter some of his more problematic idiosyncrasies is not by having a frank discussion but through misdirection. For instance, Wesley Chan, a top product manager … has learned that instead of arguing his case with Page, a better strategy is “giving him shiny objects to play with.”

If you want Google to remain Google, please send your shiny objects to: Larry Page, Googleplex, Santa Clara, CA 94043."
