You're kidding right? Maps, android, camera, calendar, hangout, pay/wallet, docs, sheets, slides, voice to text stuff, YouTube, chrome/debugger, kubernetes, grpc, Gmail, music, ads... Pretty ubiquitous suite of products both consumer facing and business facing... I don't think you can question that Google has been successful at innovation. You can question if they could be doing it better but impossible to say they aren't having some success doing what they're doing...

Acquisition, acquisition, basic OS feature (and therefore part of the Android acquisition), Google EEE of thing you could already do (and developed by an individual Google developer without the approval of Google management), Google CADT, Google EEE of something you could already do, acquisition, acquisition, actual Google creation, don't know, Google EEE of something that already existed (Firebug was first), not good, too trivial to count, actual Google creation that I already mentioned, don't know what you mean, not good.

Fun! Flights, shopping, scholar, trends, tensorflow, Go, recaptcha, pixel, Chromecast, firebase, translate...

Re "too trivial to count"? We're commenting on a thread that involves an award given out for someone who wrote an excel script...

Re "not good": From whose perspective? If it makes company more profit then it's hard to say that it's a bad thing...

Flights were acquisition and to this day are a bit of unlikely island internally (AFAIK QPX engine is still in use, and it's written in language otherwise verboten at Google)

What a totally braindead take.

Dismissing something innovative and hugely impactful as “kubernetes” as “not good” says all you need to know about the quality of this comment.

Also your point that none of the acquisitions have been innovated on since their acquisition? Android was originally an OS for a handheld camera.

Or are you going to bundle all the innovation into your clearly ignorant “not good” bucket as well?
