Google's 15 minutes of media adoration appears to be over for now, and I for one couldn't be more pleased. While I have a number of friends who work there (who I wish nothing but success and happiness), enough is enough with Google and their "our shit doesn't stink" attitude -- their arrogance makes former .com era bombs like Scient look mild. The torch will pass... but not until a whole lot of wealth has been redistributed. Be weary.
