The spelling blocks are a nice touch. Childish and unthreatening.

So this is how we die.

holly shit, they really plan on total market domination.
I predict A.I and robotics will be their first foray
- it's just a reshuffling of existing forays under a new umbrella name...we both know robotics and A.i are already big with them.monospaced
- ^ yupmoldero
- yep, but this reshuffling is done so that google can keep on looking good to investors but now they alpha can release project that can fail without affectingGeorgesII
- google's numbers. I do not believe googl did this just to save money, I think they want to go full samsung (chaebol structure like) time will tellGeorgesII
- I see what you're saying. With Google (its own section) the most public and everything else kinda behind the scenes. Even before, they were already going there.monospaced

"Sergey and I are seriously in the business of starting new things. Alphabet will also include our X lab, which incubates new efforts like Wing, our drone delivery effort."
Scroll down to this part of the statement and carefully click on the full-stop after 'effort'.

google (alphabet) are kinda scary.

it seems I'm the only one seeing like this,
but I'm no economist so someone correct me,google created alphabet so it can separate the companies that make money (google) from other more experiment divisions from google (google X),
so Now if one of their venture fails it doesn't afflict google's share. It also allows alpaj/google to release more experimental products and not have them compete with google and at the end if they fail, the share of google won't be affected,
it seems like they really want to branch out and compared to samsung with has the name samsung but have 20 other divisions from car making, apartment building, food, weapon industry and electronics,
I believe google is trying to do the same, have alphabet and setup google as the cash cow, while the other divisions can push innovations faster than they could under the brand name google,
I'm genuinely curious, so before downvoting, please try to help me understand the point of making alphabet

- I've been following them for some times,
this move of theirs seems logical seeing how many startup they bought

- Alphabet will still trade as GOOG and GOOGLmonospaced
- thanks mono, I kinda still don't understand,
but why the name changeGeorgesII - It's clear in the article and blog post. Essentially, Google has way more ventures beyond the "Google" brand, so they broke them off.monospaced
- And put them all back together (as they already are really) under Alphabet. Probably a hassle to change stock ticker symbol, I'm guessing.monospaced
- My prediction is that we'll hardly ever hear about Alphabet, and when we do, probably not in relation to Google at all. We'll just hear about their projects.monospaced
- I beg to differe, alphabet seems to be exactly what google needed, google is seating on some crazy tech and unlike their competitor, they don't seem to fearGeorgesII
- releasing crapGeorgesII
- maybe the people they hire not so good even with the high end degrees.yurimon
