Google is definitely not doing nothing. A lot of smart people are there who work very hard.
But, as a Google employee for about a decade at this point, I really do think that the company is trash when it comes to planning and coordination and is getting worse at it over time. I think that there are a lot of things it never really needed to learn how to do because the ads money is just so outrageous.
Like the resource curse for companies that stumble on a cash spigot. Still, maybe that's fine, because they wouldn't exist otherwise. Just don't expect too much from them outside that?
I wish they'd just spin out more companies so they could rise or fall on their own.
