Google hasn't done much that's game changing that I've seen. Their incentives and goals are different than PARC most of the time. They did a lot of practical solutions to their problems that are similar to other solutions. The one, ultra-clever thing that jumped out at me was Spanner's TrueTime. Utterly brilliant. Google could become PARC if they chose. Even have some groups like Spanner's doing unconventional stuff. I think it would take changes in management's priorities and evaluation of employees to get it there. It's not yet but there's potential.
