WHEN AND WHY GOOGLE STARTED LOOSING IT'S MAGIC TOUCH

I have been using Google for many many years' even before it became a word in the dictionary.
we all think progress brings  the good qualities in products.This is not true, I think Google started  loosing it's Magic touch  when they  started  with  cutting  down  on the  topics they were researching. the so called  "more wood behind fewer arrows" concept.
"an ex-Googler (who apparently has rejoined Microsoft), James Whittaker, wrote a lengthy note on why he decided to leave Google. Very blunt:

The Google I was passionate about was a technology company that empowered its employees to innovate. The Google I left was an advertising company with a single corporate-mandated focus. ...
As the trappings of entrepreneurship were dismantled, derisive talk of the “old Google” and its feeble attempts at competing with Facebook surfaced to justify a “new Google” that promised “more wood behind fewer arrows.”

I think nothing but dead wood is remaining in Google.
Today I searched for
"haborth's arrangement 104 matchsticks"
in his book

Mathematical Treks: From Surreal Numbers to Magic Circles

 By Ivars Peterson on page 103 talks of this.

it did not show any results 

 it did not even suggest that I made a spelling mistake

" Harborth" instead of  "Haborth"

German mathematician Heiko Harborth
and is the smallest known 4-regular matchstick graph: The 104 matchsticks
are arranged so that every vertex in the diagram has four matchsticks
emanating from it.

also when  people  were completely ignored when they suggested not removing  useful things such as cached pages.

this was very useful when  the pages were no longer available but we could atleast see  cached  material.

Good bye Google!

you are no longer  what  inspires me
