what Jrockway said https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6407580

But your comments are factually wrong. None of Google's products you mention are new or really that much better (so far.)

>> Google is a company that is making self-driving cars

So is every major car manufacturer out there. Who's ahead of the game? I don't know because Google gets all the press and fawning from fanboys--like you.

">>providing incredibly fast internet to consumers

Experimenting in a few ares with plenty of subsidies doesn't count. The much hated Verizon has done a LOT more on that regard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verizon_FiOS

">> providing Internet to suffering area with a patently new idea (the Loon)"

Not providing anything yet, just experiments and Loon is not a new idea at all. http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB120347353988378955.ht...

">> exploring definitively new ideas for hardware (Google Glass)" Not a new idea at all. Different thinking of course but the verdict is still out.

One day--the focused like a laser--Google will manufacture their toilet paper and you'll be here to wonder how we managed without toilet paper before Google invented it.
