The whole article is really weird. It has the quote about it being "OK" that MS bought Github, followed by a non-sequitur article about Google employees protesting military contracts.
I don't see a connection between the two but I suppose the author is implying that Google didn't buy Github because it was distracted with its own internal turmoil around the protests?
- stingraycharles 8y agoI agree, this is a very weird article with very little information, and the headline oversells it.
- ChuckMcM 8y agoPerhaps the only story here is that Google would have (or may have) bid on Github as well as Microsoft. But that isn't more than a headline so the the editor said "It needs to be 500 words or it isn't a story" and the reporter just added in bits until they hit the word threshold.
- ggggtez 8y agoIf that's the implication it's pretty much just crazy talk. I mean, is the suggestion the company actually stopped all work for a period of months? Obviously not, so it seems like a huge non-sequitur.
