It's the difference between your stock options being worth $0 (in the case of Google), and they being potentially worth 10X (in the case of Facebook). I'd say 10X is a pretty big difference.

$0? GOOG is at $624, I'm sure there are a lot of googlers sitting on options with $300-500 prices.

Considering the repricing [1] that occurred earlier this year, yes.

This is from Jan 2009, not this year, and I'm sure you're aware of the fact that the downfall affected the whole economy, not Google in particular.
