Bangalore:  The tech-world always hails Steve Jobs for his controlling power, one-man-effort, prophetic thoughts and much more which had led the spit Apple to its heights. Meanwhile Google, though maintaining its radiant engineering talent, fails to bring itself up with a mono-centric managing power.

‘Without being evil’, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, guided by Eric Schmidt, indeed have developed an excellent search engine of all time. The trio made a good beginning and it goes rather smoothly. But the real captain of the ship is not identified yet, which remains an impediment for further growth.

This reflects in its products in one way or the other. Let’s see some of them.

1. The Myth Of Android@Home

In 2011 Google I/O developer conference Google announced a number of new Android toys among which Android@Home seemed to be most vague. The demonstrations by Joe Britt, the Engineering Director, showed how it can be used to control home appliances.

But shortly after its launch, the references to it soon disappeared from the sites. And it still remains as more of a mystery.

Do you think Google needs a Steve Jobs?
