Really? Google owns a fighter jet. What kind of conclusions am I supposed to draw from that?

- nightski 12y agoProbably not much since they do not own the company that designed and built that fighter jet (at least that I am aware of).
- desdiv 12y agoGoogle owns a fighter jet. The jet you're talking about is owned by a private company, H211 LLC, that's owned by Page, Brin, Schmidt et al. It's not a subsidiary of Google, nor does it have any relationship with Google[0].

- xtian 12y agoYou must have a pretty sad definition of the word "relationship" to exclude two companies that share executives.
- jodrellblank 12y agoI don't understand your point. I was arguing "the Boston dynamics robot is not Google technology because darpa funded it" with "it is fair to describe it as Google technology because Google own the technology". You can draw whatever conclusions you like about the fighter jet for all I care. But if you start saying things like "they bought a fighter jet but they don't own it because someone else paid for the design" then I'll argue about your reasoning.
