Google takes aim at multimedia, and soon will do trash cans, soft drinks, fumigants, apples, cocoa chips and anything else....

Or, I could say,


"All the betas you want".

Why cannot Google stick to its game? What is it trying to do? Prove that any cash happy idiot can hire all kinds of smart engineers and create half-baked products that can be doled off as beta.

Google seems to have taken the word beta to a level, where its like you stick a page that says "Student Driver", and drive like heck froze over all across the city.

Bad practices beget bad results. This is the lesson from the Newest Testament of the Computer Industry.

Why is everyone mad at MS? Why do their products fail to pass even a fair test of quality?

It is because they ignored to secure their core, and continued to build incompetent products, and will do so forever.

It looks like Google is pushing the buttons on several fields and does nothing with them after it. Lets recap, it took them forever to get out of the beta on their search engine - the basic product. Admittedly, it is the best ever built.

But what happened to -- News, Groups, Froogle, Gmail, Orkut to just name a few?

When, then can we see the messenger, finance and other crap get anywhere?

What will be the status of the pagebuilder, or the office software?

Why can't they stop bloating like an obese mammoth gone mad, and take care of things, one at a time. Maybe not, maybe that will help the competition, but when will they finish building these products that are in the pipeline?

We will never know. This is what I predict. Google, maybe none of you will read this, but if you don't get your act together, and keep releasing useless products - yes, users will flock initially for the Google name, but will eventually, go where the services, work atleast some of the time...

Now if only the idiot orkut can maintain to have its password rememberd on my computer....
