Maybe it's just me but I think that Google has a pretty established culture - tech led, try lots of stuff, beta early, don't be afraid to kill projects that aren't working.
Page has certainly done a good job focusing the company more but I think it's premature to suggest he's in the Steve Jobs mould. He's been in position for 12 months, Google simply isn't as built in his image as Apple was in Jobs. I'm not talking about quality of thinking, leadership, intelligence or anything like that, just the sheer extent to which Jobs had asserted his will over Apple and it's culture.
