"Google logic: why Google does the things it does the way it does"

http://j.mp/10X7Dsv  (Guardian)

   "But in Google's case, I think its actions do make sense - even the
    deeply weird stuff like the purchase of Motorola. The issue, I
    believe, is that Google follows a different set of rules than most
    other companies. Apple uses "Think Different" as its slogan, but in
    many ways Google is the company that truly thinks differently. It's
    not just marching to a different drummer; sometimes I think it hears
    an entirely different orchestra.  Google's orchestra is unique because
    of three factors: corporate culture, governance, and personal
    politics. Let's start with the culture."

Ultimately, at every firm, it's *always* about the people.
