They really do kill something off every other week, don't they?

I remember reading somewhere that employees are heavily incentivized to create new things. Invent something, develop something, just get something NEW out, but there are no incentives to support existing projects. Once a feature or product is complete and released, nobody wants to stay on the team to support it, and there's no perceived value in even continuing to produce it, much less evolve it.

That's why Google is always churning out new stuff, and then letting it languish and die. There's no internal money for support, only invention.
