Not to knock "Google X" but they seem to be extremely wishy washy when it comes to picking a direction. (Glass, robotics, curing aging) they really don't seem to have the "skate to where the puck is going to be" mentality at least from the outside looking in. Apple is struggling here too, but only very recently has this come to the attention of media and shareholders.
- TheOtherHobbes 11y agoAgreed. This feels like something Yahoo! would do. Perhaps there are hidden machinations and defence-washing for PR purposes. But perhaps it's about corp comm being given veto power over R&D - in which case it seems like a terrible mistake.
- Joeri 11y agoTo be fair, that's what great R&D labs look like while they're inventing. They're all over the place, and only with hindsight can you connect the dots.
