I wondered when the name change was coming because this is Google: products be endlessly repackaged and renamed, some only to be killed later.

I’ve noticed a lot of big corporations doing this and I think the reasoning behind it is it’s really easy to say you shipped a product on your résumé. If all you did was change the name of it. It actually takes a lot of work and time to ship a new innovative product.

I don't speak English at home either, so I hope this helps. It's "products are", not "products be".

I reckon the same dipshits responsible for Microsoft’s product naming in the early 2000s all moved on to Google to wreak the same havoc there.
