Google Jumps the Shark

August 9th, 2009 by The Admin Leave a reply »

Just a few years ago I was telling anybody who would listen to my ranting and raving that Google was going to take over the planet.

Their free applications were amazing! And free! Google Earth, SketchUp, Docs, Gmail, Picassa, Sidebar, Android, Analytics! The list is long. And free! (did I mention free?)

And then they fucked up.

Google Earth’s latest update is  a resource pig and, AND, has a goddamn  Active X 10 flaw that my fairly new video card can’t handle. (yes I updated the firmware, duh)

Picassa will do everything you need for everyday photo editing except, EXCEPT, resize. WTF?!

SketchUp 7 is buggy as hell. Good going there guys. Only the best 3D design software I’ve ever seen and you fuck it up. Oh yeah, and it’s another resource pig as well.

Sidebar may or may not work these days. Kinda iffy on a good day. Maybe a gadget will work, maybe it won’t.

But worst of all, have you ever noticed all the fucking tracking, spyware crap that now loads when you use ANY Google service or program. Oh yeah, you damn well better believe the mothership is watching you. Not to mention what a FUCKING BANDWIDTH HOG IT ALL IS.

So way to go Google! You, like all of the other dinosaurs before you, have successfully snatched defeat from the jaws of victory! I salute you!

Phhhllllrrrtttt!!!

    Thanks very much for this great blog post; this is the kind of post that keeps me going through the day. I’ve been looking around for this site after I heard about them from a close friend and was thrilled when I was able to find it after searching for some time. Being an avid blogger, I’m pleased to see others taking initiative and contributing to the community. I just wanted to comment to show my appreciation for your work as it’s very encouraging, and many bloggers do not get the credit they deserve. I’m sure I’ll be back and will send some of my friends.

    Many bloggers are like me. We don’t contribute squat. We just want to rant. – the Admin
