But there may be more, and it’s possible that Google is attempting to spread out the bad news instead of having it hit all at once.

Another drop of blood in the water. tech is no longer a boom industry. The hopes of infinite growth have been dashed on the reality that there is a fixed amount of time people can spend on phones, computers and tablets in a day. Meanwhile the anxious suits are saying “but is there anyway we could get people to not sleep? That’s be an additional 8 hours we could be showing them adds and harvesting their data.”

Infinite growth is part of the reason Capitalism sucks. There is no way any company can grow infinitely.
