Has Google Peaked?

nile_list writes "Robert X. Cringely's latest column explores just what the heck Google could be doing. 'Google likes to play the Black Box game. What are they DOING in all those buildings with all those PhDs?' He concludes that it's likely Google has peaked as a company: 'What if everyone is mainly wrong? What if search and PageRank and AdSense are Google's corporate apex. Most companies would be content with that, but Google isn't supposed to be like most companies. But what if they are?' His conclusion is that 'Microsoft's clearest threat still comes from Apple, though not the way most people expect.' It's an interesting read."

Well Slashdot has definitely peaked

[multiplexo]

A complete lack of editorial oversight leading to a near constant stream of duplicate stories. A complete lack of editorial standards leading to reposts of Robert X. Cringely articles (hint to the editors, if we really wanted to read Cringely's cringe-worthy crap we'd go directly to his website and read it!) and Roland Piquepaille's constant whoring for page hits. Incredibly stupid queries to ask Slashdot that could have been answered by reading the fucking manual or STFN (searching the fucking net). Yep, Slashdot has definitely peaked, indeed it has not only peaked, it has jumped the shark.
