Seems more like a Google press release than anything sincere. Maybe trying to regain their preferred status among the top talent looking for work during these tumultuous times?

It sounds like quotes from old interviews.

He mentions that they "just launched Gmail". Guessing 2004? Not sure why it's appearing 5 years later though.

  # Part of our brand is that we're pretty understated in what we do.
  If you look at other technology companies, they might preannounce
  things, and it will be a couple years before they really happen,
  and they don't happen in the way they said they would.

I miss this aspect of Google. Android and OpenSocial were announced months before they had an actual product.

# I would rather have people think we're confused than let our competitors know what we're going to do.

I feel a bit more secure and confidant than I did 5 minutes ago.
