Google Maps was also an acquisition.

  It was acquired young, though, and has been completely rewritten at least once. And as of three years ago, none of the originals were still working on it. Lars went on to build Walkabout/Wave, and I'm not sure what happened to Jens. In any case, I consider Google Maps to be through and through a Google product.

  Does it matter if it was an acquisition? I assume they acquired most of the engineers with it, so it's a partial answer to "what the hell are all those engineers doing?"
