		<description>Is this not to be expected though even without the current economic conditions?   I remember, not so  long ago, when a Google search actually resulted in good hits that were usable.  Now when I search Google, often I have to sift through 5 to 20 pages of BS to find something I can go on.  If that where the only measure of the company, then I&#039;d say that even their current stock price is way over the top.  They have had some other successes that temper that (Google Earth, etc) but I honestly don&#039;t see the search results giving me (Average Joe) the hits I&#039;m looking for.  I don&#039;t think any of the search engines do actually (but that is not a mystery).  I think their current search engine/pay per link revenue generator is the search engine equivalent of a financial derivative.  The bottom line for the end user is that it doesn&#039;t really work that well but it makes people at the top wealthy.</description>

		<description>In any corporate environment there will always be a category of employees whose main objective is monetary incentives, and thus, they usually hold positions in administrative, managerial, finance, legal, or other similar positions within a company, and typically in most cases have a background in a non technical field.  For those employees, perhaps the passion to create software or work on complex problems whether it being a global infrastructure problem or a simple add/subtract program may not be on their top priority list as the objectives of meeting the bottom line and getting compensated for it accordingly! 

Nonetheless, there are also tech employees who may have a similar mind set to prioritize monetary incentives in order for them to do their job properly without worrying about life issues such as bills etc.  However, employees at Google for the most part are compensated a salary that is above average in addition to other perks such as options, stock grants, and therefore,  I don&#039;t really think that it bothers them if Google&#039;s equity stock value dropped as low as $300 or so! 
I do not work for Google, but I would conclude that would be the most likely process of thought that takes place.

There are bigger problems that have precedence over the value of options perks, such as being EMPLOYED!  So, the fact that Google is  not announcing a major lay off of employees, rather, they continue to hire qualified candidates, then, that should tell you that this is a normal economic cycle. Get used to it, that&#039;s how capitalism works, although we don&#039;t live in a 100% capitalistic society as described or theorized by Adam Smith, we the United States nonetheless are by far the most capitalistic economy in the world, and I am happy that we are going through this parabola, as it indicates a yet more vibrant and healthy economy outcome in all sectors, whether it&#039;s in the tech sector or otherwise.  So RELAX FOLKS!

		<description>Yeah ! I mean seriously. How difficult is it to create Google docs? One socket program that has been used for years forms the complete push/synch functionality and they call it a HUGE innovation.

Google earth - They brought a company that was doing it already
Google Street View - Panaromia remodelled.
Google Maps - Yeah Original.
Google Search - yeah original (Original enhancements and ideas)
. Agreed.



But microsoft isnt too good either.. They might build gud products for a company of that size(Its hard to move when you are fat) but the kind of lock ins they create is too much for any sensible computer user...</description>

		<description>Lol - well, im not saying one system is better over another, both have their advantages and disadvantages. However, what you&#039;re saying is absolutely not true. France in particular has one of the best health care systems in the world. If i recall, Sweden and Norway are first followed by France and Germany in terms of Quality and Access. I mean, all you have to do is think about it logically. If what you are saying was true, then it would already be a well known fact that at least 50% of Europeans would be walking around toothless, and in a state of utter physical wreckage, just like in the middle-ages. this is obviously not true, hence what you are saying is obviously totally wrong. :-) However, it is true that getting investement and starting a business is more difficult in Europe. As i said, there are good sides and bad.</description>

		<description>Do your homework. Google uses *tradeable* stock options so they have significant value when below their strike price.</description>

Over the last three months, the Dow Jones is outperforming NASDAQ which is outperforming IBM, Google, EBay, Dell, Apple and Sun, in that order. EBay announced a reduction of employees and contractors and a hiring freeze, reducing staff from its current level from 15,000 to less than 14,000. (I&#039;ve no idea why it takes 15,000 people to run EBay.)

Google is only very slightly outperforming EBay but Google is meeting earnings expectations based on booked revenue from penis pills, Florida real estate and SUVs but this revenue is never going to be collected. It is just bad debt which hasn&#039;t been written off. Google&#039;s also had a bozo explosion of do-nothing project managers. Which means there&#039;s a glut of middle management in charge of go-nowhere &quot;strategic&quot; projects which could be cancelled at very short notice.

Microsoft and Oracle are outperforming this sinking market, partly because the threat of cost-cutting, open source competitors has already been factored into their share prices. However, I&#039;d be most concerned if I was at Apple, Yahoo or Sun. A 10% cut in the workforce looks like an optimistic outcome. Acquisition and a 50% cut is becoming more likely.</description>

		<description>Google&#039;s employees have a transferrable stock option plan, so their options can be sold (essentially) on the options market. Even someone with a strike price of $500 would be able to sell their options for about $35 (as of Friday).

		<description>This is when we get to divide the Google employees into three groups based on intelligence:

1. The employees who exercised all of their vested options via risk-free same-day-sale right after the vesting period, cashing in and diversifying their windfall. (most intelligent).

2. The employees who considered their vested shares &#039;the best possible investment&#039; and sat on their options without exercising and diversifying them (lazy, uneducated).

3. The employees who PURCHASED their vested shares (sometimes with borrowed money) to avoid paying short-term capital gains on their windfall, and will not be responsible for the tax burden of the purchase price. (Fools)

4. The employees who have not vested yet but have already started to over-leverage themselves in anticipation of their windfall (pitiful fools)

There is no excuse for being in any category but 1 this time, after the lessons learned from Web 1.0.</description>
