      Google Maps is one decent thing though, I'll give them that lol

      Yeah. That is something that I can't see them ever killing off.

      Yeah, like Hangout or Wave.

        They make lots of "decent" stuff. They just don't continue to make them.

          @scottalanmiller - No. lol Not like those. I use hangouts, but not many people do. I never used wave. Mapquest used to be a thing, and still is. Except, not really. Google maps is the defacto map app for smart devices, especially Android.

            Google +, Google Reader (RSS Reader), Picassa (photo editor), Google Talk (Hangout predecesor), google labs, Google Earth Enterprise, Google URL Shorterner (https://firebase.google.com/support/guides/url-shortener), Inbox, Google Code. All those ones I used.

              I had Google plus because a frined of mine was using it. I didn't use it that much. The idiot parts/customer service manager that has since been forced out, was always trying to use different shit and start projects with stuff he didn't have the expertise or budget for. He started using Picassa to catalog images of all sorts of parts. I told him that he shouldn't use that. Sure enough, picassa died.

                                    Google buys $40 million worth of smartwatch tech from Fossil Group

                                    Google gets IP and part of Fossil's R&D team to beef up its wearable efforts.

                                    Along with the IP, a section of Fossil's research and development team focused on wearables will join Google. However, the announcement highlights Google and Fossil's "shared investment in the wearable industry," which likely means that this deal will not quell Fossil's wearable efforts entirely. Fossil Group—which includes Diesel, Armani, Skagen, and Michael Kors—has launched smartwatches running Wear OS and hybrid smartwatches across 14 of its brands.

                                      Google buys Fossil Group and then closes Fossil Group smartwatch division

                                      Google, like most beasts which consume a meal far too large for their gullet, the terror sets in at Google Fossil Group

                                      Ricky Kashaut was hoping for his new stock in Google to mature on Friday in a $1 trillion dollar deal most Silicon Valley insiders said "that amount is so stupid it has to be real", but by the time he was done signing the papers, and went to take a leak, it was all over. Within just a few moments of purchasing the company Google shut it down saying they didn't see a market for a smartwatch at this time. As we at Some Idiotic Technews Dumpsite watched with sadness as Ricky "No-Longer-Ricktired" Kashaut, the idea man that no one wanted, asked if he could at least have a doughnut. Mr. Pichai smiled, shook his head and, then promptly had him removed from the property.
