I often find myself searching on HN, then Reddit (via google) and then good old sad google, in that order.
When Google arrived, it had the solution people were desperately waiting for. It was pretty much everything we wanted. And it even "wasn't evil!"
Now it feels like people at Google are just making sure they'll qualify for their annual bonus with total disregard to what happens to the company.
I forecast that in the next 1-3 years, we'll see another company steal the search market, just like Google it back in the day. But Google, don't worry, they'll "just be a search company".
Some people argue it's just incompetence, not PO. But if you've been in the business of making the same type of hardware/appliances for more than a few years then it's definitely planned obsolescence.
This is a classic political statement. Perhaps 100% correct.
But notice how they didn't say "no audio is recorded in the room".
