Re: It could have [been Google]
Hopefully though, if Google did buy it, they would spin it out again to sell/opensource like they did with the likes of Sketchup.
It (though I may be wrong) seems to be internal Google projects that get temally ended, where as externally purchased software/services get spun out and/or sold on. Hardware though, they seem to cement it 6 foot under if it does not turn profit.
