Is Google Too Smart For Its Own Good?

An anonymous reader writes in with a piece in Fortune speculating on what's next for Google. The writer believes that a supersaturated solution of very smart people, plus stock that may have run out of upside, will yield what he calls Son of Google — a large wave of innovative companies created by Google graduates. And a Google less intent on hiring, and less able to hire, the very smartest people around. Could happen.

So, what's the problem?

I'm not worried, at least not until we get to the Revenge of the Son of Google, or maybe the Bride of the Son of Google. That's when the entertainment value really drops off.

Will the odd numbered ones be good and the even numbered ones bad? Or the other way round?

Only the square root ones will be good, the rest will simply be a fraction of the good ones.

Heh, you wait 'till Google Ep. 1 - BackRub Garage comes out, then it's really jumped the shark (laser equipped or otherwise).

Excuse me... (AKA Mod down at will, but,) English, motherfucker! Do you speak it.

Small piece of advice: If you wish to complain about English usage, you will be taken more seriously if you can do so without an extra comma, a missing question mark, unnecessary capitalization, a misused ellipsis, and pointless cursing.

Better luck next time,
