Congrats to you guys at Engadget. You did hit the big time, I guess.
It is weird though. I think the hype that surrounds Google is kind of wearing out right now. In the past, they had some sort of a geek pride which made them extremely famous in the blogosphere but now they are becoming more and more corporate.
Also, they have so many products coming up (Google Reader, Google Base and all other things) that it is impossible to focus on one thing. I mean GMail was a smash hit. But look at it now.
Google Pack is pretty cool but who is going to use that. Majority of people just have their Dell pcs loaded up with everything they would need. Look at the software they have added, there is nothing really unusual there. Also, the other people, geeks, would have their own choice of software and would not really bother with Google Pack thing.
Video store seems nice but I do not know it really helps Google in terms of its notoriety. People who love Google the most, geeks again, would not bother with the store when they have torrents. The others would probably like it, just like they like to install the "Amazing Free Screensavers"
Anyway, it is just my two cents. I still love Google and it is still my homepage. Nevertheless, I just cannot understand where this video store fits in their quest into "index the world's information". I am just saying I would have loved Google more if they clinged to their original aims.
