This is the way the world ends

I cannot imagine a more cutting line than this regarding Google's new "wave" email program:

Indeed, Wave is so packed with features of marginal utility it's easy to forget it was invented by Google. Here was a company that once prided itself on simplicity; Wave is so bloated it could have come from Microsoft.

Ouch! It's impossible to predict how the next successful tech company will start, but they all end the same way.

Watching the demo video, btw., gave me flashbacks to Lotus Notes. Yes, a Google product has now been compared to Lotus Notes and Microsoft.
