Google really wants to be broken up, huh?
When they juat focused on cool tech for the sake of tech they were great ( and the Don't be evil mantra). now it is just shareholder profit driven, and they kill stuff when numbers aren't constant growth
They killed stuff before.
Google's downfall seems to be this weird promotion culture where you only get attention by launching new products. That's why they keep introducing half assed messengers. Nobody gets anything from maintaining a successful product.
That combined with myopic shareholder value management gives us the corporate equivalent of a 12 year old kid with ADHD and a bad tamper.
They killed stuff before when it failed. Now it's just fucking weird. They're killing the Chromecast. Why? I have no clue. It has decent sales.
Google Reader didn't fail. And they killed it for no reason.
Chromecasts are probably simply not profitable enough. The device class is served by cheaper sticks and given the absurd salaries and profit expectations of these firms, it's probably not "worth it".
