I have to say that one of the coolest things about working for Bell Labs in the 90s was seeing amazing technology before anyone else. However, the worst part of working at Bell Labs was seeing that technology and knowing that it would never see the light of day because management couldn’t get their heads out of their asses and figure out how to market it.

Google Video is an almost exact duplicate of a project some of my users developed in the mid-90s. I hear that Google Labs is hiring old Bell Labs people left and right. I wonder if they’re all just ‘re-inventing’ all the old stuff that Bell Labs couldn’t turn into a product.

I know that’s what I would do if I was sitting on a career of amazing products that never saw the light of day. The hardest part would be to decide which to productize under the Google Labs name first.
