With your consistent anti-Google bias, I'm not surprised you posted this. But every large company has hits and misses. You can't name a large tech company without plenty of failures. That's just how it works. They all try things, and many of them don't work out. The projects that succeed are fed, and the projects that fail get shelved.

It's not that they have failures, it's that I find so few successes.

Note that if you have a pro-Google bias, it's pretty easy to dismiss legitimate points as "anti-Google bias". Unless you're going to characterize a 13-year-veteran Googler like Yegge as "anti-Google", maybe you should realize the bias is yours.

Google has 7 different products with a billion users [0]. So few successes indeed.
