Applies to Pichai at Google too. Google was a search company that put the browser/mobile guy in charge. You are not going to see stuff like this http://aureli

come out of Google for the simple reason they are busy playing empire defense all the while the need for a centralized search engine reduces.
- digi_owl 10y agoNah, Google is first and foremost about ads. Search was just a damn good gateway for pushing those ads. Now you get them pushed on phones and laptops (chromebook) as well.
- uiri 10y agoIsn't that the whole point of Alphabet? Google can play empire defense while Larry & Sergey make bets by creating subsidiaries and funding them with Google's free cash flow. I think Google's board recognized this phenomenon of large companies becoming risk averse and restructured in this way to try to avoid it.
- vthallam 10y agoReally? Sundar Pichai is a product guy and all he is trying to do now is push their AI research and apply existing innovations to all consumer product lines(search,maps,photos,assistant,home,pixel etc) which i think is the need of hour. Search will be the key thing Google does, but they are strategically building product lines(conversation UI) so that they don't miss out on how people search for stuff.
