The read me clearly says "This is not an officially supported Google product.". I am not getting what you want to imply here and what you expect him to reply here.

It's other people on this thread that had questions, more than me.

I'm not really implying -- I'm stating that I don't think his management chain was "afraid of being disrupted", but that they were pissed that one of their own team members released a product with Google branding that was the same thing they were about to announce in 2 weeks. It was poor judgement. Not worth a firing, though, in my opinion.
