> It happens everywhere. Doesn't mean it's a great idea. While Google is a great cash cow, I'm not sure we will continue to see great innovation.

  have we really seen innovation from google though? - tensorflow, I think a huge innovation and a big win for google. - great work in self driving cars, but that has yet to come to fruition. - the tech behind gmail has also been really important to the web. - chrome is great, though not a huge leap in innovation over what firefox was doing a lot of their other products i would argue were just purchases from a company with a lot of money and weight such as: - android - youtube - google maps (its my understanding that the creator wouldnt allow google to buy his company unless he could do this but i could be wrong) so hmm, yes I would say they are innovative and we have seen some great innovations from them; though, not at break neck speeds a lot of people assume. curious to others thoughts

    MapReduce, Pregel, Spanner, Beam, Kubernetes. Actually, I'm pretty sure Google innovations are endless or close enough to make no difference.

      Remove Dean and Ghemawat from Google and I wonder how big this list would be.

    Re: Chrome, it started with webkit, from Safari, (and from KHTML and Konqueror).
