On Wednesday, Google announced its 10th birthday celebration endeavor, called Project 10^100 (pronounced “Project 10 to the 100th”).

But that free-wheeling attitude also has a downside, according to Preston Gralla, contributing editor at Computer World. Take, for example, the recent crash of Google Apps.
