I wouldn't necessarily agree with you, look at google maps which have improved in quality, But this happened through a dedicated commitment to the project.
But in the other hand I have noticed that there are google "quality control" issues which I have experienced. A few of the patents in Google Patents have bad and unreadable pages (especially with the drawings) or are scanned crooked as an example.
I suspect that the wireless network is oversubscribed where you have people jamming each other (and the router) to get into a local router. This can be a problem with any radio technology when you have too many users on a channel. And google probably does not make money on this project and hence allocate resources for other things.
But this is a larger issue with WiFi networks in general. People think it's an infinite resource and can replace traditional wires everywhere. I assure you, it is not and can not.
I think that is the "1000lb" Gorilla that they speak about on their webpage! It's probably hard to do business with a former competitor.
From another article
Ken Brill, founder of the Uptime Institute and a forward thinker in data center design and operations, died this week at the age of 68, the Institute said on Thursday. The cause was cancer, a spokesman said.

>Reduce the graduation rate, supply and demand will increase their fees.
Yes, then we have a large number of $500/hr attorneys that no one can afford, except for the wealthiest among us and large corporations. Making the problem worse.
As I said, one thing that would help is getting the ABA stranglehold of the two day hazing exercise known as the bar exam. I know that most in the legal profession (and yourself) will hate this, but their emperor has no clothes.
The problem is we are graduating a lot of attorneys with $150K+ school debt so they charge $300 an hour for their services. Simply, we have too many attorneys that no one can afford!
I would submit that the stranglehold on the bar exam that the ABA has be loosened and allow accredited online law schools. I know that many believe in the "socratic method", but it doesn't mean a hill of beans if no one can afford it!
We need plumbers, electricians, and carpenters, and they can earn a good living, but nobody seems to care about them.
So we can re-inflate the housing bubble with a lot of new homes that no one can really afford to buy?? The fact is all those who were in the construction/housing market are struggling themselves.
There was a day that as a nation we would take on national infrastructure projects to help stimulate the economy. But we have a congress much more willing to sit on their hands than account for themselves.

That may not be a bad idea. Forget regenerating, Matt Smith leaves some huge shoes to fill.
Why is Slashdot so much better than reddit?
Because CowboyNeal and a large chunk of his Slashdot friends is now on Reddit now looking at cat pictures, leaving Slashdot a much quieter place?
When he turns 18, he should resubmit the bug for reward, and he should get the reward as he is demonstrably the first person who found it.
The chips that come out of the fab are not 100% perfect.
While this may be true for these graphics cores, I don't think it's necessarily true for Intel's CPU chips. I think they have their design so refined that their yield is close to 100% for all but the highest density cores.
Otherwise they simply would not be able to offer multi core chips. Maybe someone in the know could comment on this.
