    I can’t remember [Alphabet] having any innovative ideas since PageRank back when they were founded.

    Oh come on, they made Google Wave, that was pretty neat! And… Um… That’s it I guess?

      There are so many good ideas in the Google back catalog, it feels criminal not to just link to the graveyard.

      From AngularJS to Google Cardboard to Project Ara, really can’t express how many genuinely cool ideas they floated and then smothered over the last 20 years.

      I never used Google wave, but it really didn’t seem all that useful to me. But maybe it was innovative? I dunno.
