Honestly, I'd say that google is... I mean...they make smartphones now, how does that make sense beyond "well, we locked a bunch of geeks in a room, and they thought this would be cool...so we did it!". Or howabout google books? Or all the dark fibre they purchased...or the google datacenter in a shipping container things? Perhaps my vision is skewed as an outsider looking in, but google seems to make a lot of really cool things. They seem to adhere to the "innovate now, monetize later" model, which is really cool.

What I do like about this principle is, these "thinkers" do draw out awesome ideas from a source. I will be sounding esoteric here - and you can start your nonchalance, but there definitely is a way of tapping into that superconscious knowledge through that untapped ether. I believe most of history's brilliant ideas came from those type of environments.

They didn't have a bunch of geeks sitting around thinking that up - they bought a company that was actively working on it. Android isn't a google invention - it was an acquisition.
