“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that’s all.”

Both you and Yegge label things you like as "innovative" and dismiss others as "not innovative" while never clearly articulating what this means.

"cool but not R&D businesses"

Yegge complains that Android was not an innovation but then says "Jeff Bezos is an exception. He innovates all the time, and he doesn’t fear failure. Many of his innovation attempts fall flat, but he almost never throws the idea away."

So somehow Android isn't innovation but Fire tablets are. Seems inconsistent.
