    Hey, Google isn't alone here. Conde Nast eliminated the free Orangina.

    I realize that this may come across as harping, but...

    Google has invested in Wojcicki's company at the behest of a founder. Google is not subject to the marriage contract and because 23andMe is still in the startup phase, it hasn't produced any value for Google's shareholders. Any future investments would be subject to the whim of Sergey;

    So, what does NOW think of this power dynamic?

    Expect us to add benefits rather than pare them down over time. We believe it is easy to be penny wise and pound foolish with respect to benefits that can save employees considerable time and improve their health and productivity.

    ... until they don't

    doesn't every company started by some fruit-booted shitass in a garage that makes it big go through the same tired cycle of plucky-futurist-luxuriating in cash-cutthroat-obsolete- bankrupt? isn't that observation also cliched? where am i? why don't i have any pants? can i borrow change for the bus?

    As long as they keep buying every single startup out there (mine included) for a lot of dough, I've no complaints

    If you click through to Google trends today, you'd find that "make your own barcode" is pretty popular for obvious reasons.

    If one were to make their own barcodes and if they were to print it on the right kind of tape, trying to get a refrigerator for a dollar or shooting for a 25¢ DiGiorno might be called indicative of the economy.

    Also, how much is Alan Greenspan worth? Because I'm pretty sure those guys are better than he is.

    @goetz: Greenspan made his money in real estate in Las Vegas. I think the story is that Howard Hughes (?) predicted to him that Las Vegas would grow like a weed so Greenspan bought lots of land far from what was then the city that is named Green-something now.

    Interesting factoid #23: complete.

    If you click through to Google trends at this very minute, you'd find that "make your own barcode" is pretty popular today for obvious reasons.

    If you were to make your own barcode and if you were to print it on the right kind of tape, trying to get a refrigerator for a dollar or shooting toward 25$cent; DiGiornos could be indicative of the economy.
