Cynicism in the tech industry finally hitting Google & Apple

Mar 1, 2006 1:57AM PST

It seems once we got into 2006, two darlings of the tech industry have fallen on harder times. It seemed like the last couple of years, Google and Apple could do no wrong. Heck, when a person I knew came back to Boston and revealed that he was working at Google now, people just flocked around him like he had the cure for cancer or something. Geez.

Either case, with Google's stock price dropping, and Apple revealing non-Apple-cool-gotta-get-it-now stuff, maybe those two tech companies will not join the ranks of the everyday guys... you know ... like what Sony keeps denying has happened to it...
