Its kinda sad to see Google - "the big daddy of innovation", now turning into a Microsoft killer. I understand the importance of competition in the market, but its coming at the price of Google's innovation, which is going down. Google should stick to the web, innovate there and Microsoft should stick to the Desktop -- they are good at it, and there are so many unsolved problems in both fields. Stabbing each other is not going to help anyone. At the end of the day, as a human race, we just loose time to do good things.
- fnid 17y agoContrary to popular belief, Google is not an innovator. Even their own CEO has admitted this. Google takes existing ideas and improves upon them, they rarely invent new ideas. Think of a new idea Google has come up with. News? Gmail? Search? Maps? nope... most of their innovative stuff is acquired, not innovated internally.
- freetard 17y ago> Google takes existing ideas and improves upon them, they rarely invent new ideas. That's the definition of innovation.
- fnid 17y agoNot according to MW: Innovation 1 : the introduction of something new 2 : a new idea, method, or device : novelty

- 1010011010 17y agoEr, Google isn't "turning into a Microsoft killer". Google simply doesn't make decisions that way -- unlike Ballmer, who wants to "kill" other companies, and "cut off their oxygen". It's fallacious to equate Microsoft's business practices with those of Google.
