Joins the graveyard in 6 months tops
- shredswap 7mo agowe don't need to be pessimistic about every other thing.
- sen 7mo agoWhen it comes to Google it’s not being pessimistic, it’s just being realistic.
- kartakrak 7mo ago6 months is even generous and optimistic
- ex-aws-dude 7mo agoIts boring though? Pessimism is so lame and uninteresting for discussions
- RobRivera 7mo agoAre you not entertained?
- holdomanoovr 7mo ago[dead]
- miltava 7mo agoMaybe for most of their acquisitions (but I don’t know). But they do get acquisitions right: YouTube, android, double click, Waze…
- eitally 7mo agoAnd more relevant, Mandiant.
- anon84873628 7mo agoOr Apigee. Or Looker. These comments are tiring.
- paganel 7mo agoThe majority (all, I'd say) of those are 15 years (and more) in the past by now. Not sure about Waze, well, looks like I was wrong, they were only acquired in 2013, so it's "only" 13 years in the past for them.
- sourcegrift 7mo agoThe best of them all. Edit: meant gmaps
- PokemonNoGo 7mo agoGmail was an acquisition? I thought it was internal? I remember them launching as an invite only (how i got mine) and it went from there. What is the story?

- ukblewis 7mo agoThis is such BS… Google also bought YouTube for a bargain price early on… and that is far from the only successful purchase that Google has had
- PunchyHamster 7mo agoYou're right, I'm giving it 5 years
- NeutralWanted 7mo agoI was part of the mandiant acquisition, and half of us were laid off a year after we joined Google. Many of the remainding mandiant members were let go in random 'org changes' layoffs afterwards. Let's see if they treat Wiz any differently.
- ExoticPearTree 7mo agoThe cynic in me says it will join the graveyard after the acquisition depreciates or it does not bring in as much money as someone at Google will think it should. As a Wiz user, it is a a really good product and I can't say this for a lot of the security stuff that is out there. And lastly: remember that Google is an advertising company with hobbies.
