Re: Google doesn't innovate?

You also havent actually listed anything which was particularly innovative. They may be great products but innovation? Nope. Taking something, making it popular, or easier to use does not make it innovative. Thats Apple Reality Distortion Field level of thinking...

Chromecast is just an internet streamer over hdmi. They existed before Chromecast, and whilst chromecast made it popular, that doesnt make it innovative.

Chromecast Audio - a copy of the Sonos system (just as you mentioned)

Android - a copy of ios created to break the apple walled garden.

Google photos - ok i havent used so i dont know what you find innovative, but there are dozens of photo apps out there. Does it really have features no other had before Google Photos came out?

Goggle Assistant - hello Siri...

Google Pixel 2 - improving the camera is not an innovation - adding a camera was an innovation (thanks Nokia!). The Bokah effect you talk about, was it really the first?

Tensor Flow - cant comment, dont know enough...

Innovation is creating something new and ground breaking, not just making something popular...
