"Google has the functionality of a really complicated Swiss Army knife, but the home page is our way of approaching it closed. It’s simple, it’s elegant, you can slip it in your pocket, but it’s got the great doodad when you need it. A lot of our competitors are like a Swiss Army knife open – and that can be intimidating and occasionally harmful." - Marissa Mayer

And what are we to make of a quote from Marissa Mayer? She is the poster child for horrendously poor management. She almost single handedly destroyed Yahoo (although there were certainly challenges not attributable to her). She had an insane concept of work prioritization in her life and treated her employees using those same insane concepts. That doesn't make the quote wrong, but I can't help but think that any message she ever tries to deliver will be overshadowed by the messenger.
