Google Labs is a place where they incubate awesome ideas and features. Then they launch it into the main project and people hate it. Then they kill it.

I would rather they just left it in labs.

Oh you mean like when we could enable features we like and disable the ones we don't like? You mean, the 90's!

Nowadays the corporations make all the choices for you. They know what's good for you, better than you do. Maybe.

One size fits all.

You would hardly know how the typical consumer is going to use/like it from that data though (not that I do not agree that that might be a good idea, maybe they just want to get it out soon).

It's not necessarily about users liking them as much as just getting the features out before as many eyeballs and browser/system combos as possible before introducing them to the whole world.

google labs is fun for a minute
