Google, since becoming a public company, now have the money to do this, they have investors who are backing them. They have always been positive, and have always had fun.

I read somewhere that they work in percentages. You spend 40% of your day on an assigned project, another 40% on a project of your choice, and 20% on whatever you want to. GMail was the result of one employes playing off time.

Should Google decide to move into the markets of Ebay, they may find themselves making more money from people who are dissatisfied with Ebay and the like. PayPal does charge percentage fees for business accounts (which I do have), if Google can successsfully squish that, or present a more reasonable form of it, then I would even be for it.
