Rumours of FTE layoffs in Dublin. Nothing in Irish MSMedia; but that's no surprise given they're in bed with Google for funds and advertising. Anyone?

Hiring Kurian as your Cloud CEO is asinine.

Maybe Thomas can turn himself around. Otherwise, Google sold their soul. This wreaks of desperation. https://www.streetinsider.com/Reuters/Oracle+veteran+Thomas+Kurian+to+replace+Diane+Greene+as+Google+Cloud+CEO/14841077.html

Sprint would be a great buy for Google.

Google is probably just biding their time to get it for nothing. There aren't a lot of other companies that could buy them. T-mobile doesn't have the cash and the FCC wouldn't allow AT&T or Verizon to snatch them up.
