First (to your other, downvoted comment), if Google were to go down, then my savings would take a huge hit, close family members would be out of a job and my professional life would be take a turn towards crappiness.
Second, to my original comment, it's been discussed here how pre-announcing stuff (like your new startup to your friends) actually reduces motivation to complete the task itself. It's interesting because Apple never pre-announces stuff, but their competitors all seem to do it continuously. Sorry, can't find the link.
So...perhaps the snark you see in my comment is just a projection of what you personally feel against Apple.
