Google would have probably been better off if Eric Schmidt had stayed engaged.

I don't like the guy's opinions on many things, but he was pretty good at keeping the ship headed in generally the right direction.



Never liked Eric, but Google had such a clear direction and vision under his leadership. Pichai, feels like the accountants are running the business. It is ONLY about the next quarters results.


Or any direction? I couldn't tell what the direction of Google was if I had to.


What's the direction of Microsoft, Amazon, or Apple? They're too big to have one direction.


Google does have one direction, the same direction it's had since IPO, really.

Maximize ad revenue, to maximize share value.

Just all the other window dressing is going away.
