    Their core products meaning search and email, sure. Everything else is on the chopping block and randomly changes all the time.

    Remember when they bought Nest and literally bricked everyone’s thermostats? Tasks / reminders / whatever gets completely reworked every other year. They went through a chat phase where they released half a dozen different, incompatible chat apps, and also wrote a chat sub-system into every other app they had.

    They’re lunatics. If all they want to do is search and email, just do that, don’t waste time and consumer patience branching out into all these random things they’ll drop support for in two years.

      I always find it so extraordinary when someone replies to one of my comments with some off-the-wall shit like this.

      You’re splitting hairs I already split. I specifically pointed out that their core products, you know, the things that actually matter, render the company among the most-reliable tech giants out there. I explicitly countered the notion that the fling-shit-and-see-what-sticks method is anything other than an elaborate R&D scheme.

      Yet, here you are, responding to me raging about Google’s failproducts as if I didn’t JUST get finished explaining what that’s all about and how it doesn’t detract from their ability to generate income. They’re not lunatics, you just don’t understand what’s happening. Which again, is wild, because you’re literally responding to a comment where I explained what’s happening.
