Yeah, but Andy Rubin and Android were a separate company that Google bought. They sort of acquired someone else's moonshot.

- amelius 10y agoAlso, there was Symbian OS, and probably a bunch of others. So not even someone else's moonshot. Imho, Android was more about exploring a new business strategy for Google.
- eli 10y agoOK, but c'mon. If the definition of "moonshot" means you built something without benefit significant previous work in the field, then sending a spaceship to the moon doesn't qualify either.
