"Google is a company that’s only made one-and-a-half successful products in its entire history. It made a search engine and a Hotmail clone, and everything else that it’s done that’s successful it bought from someone else. The only way it was able to build a good video service was by buying YouTube. This is why merger scrutiny is such a big deal."

@mike @pluralistic I’m okay with this, it means I’m only 1.5 products away from being a $multibillionaire$ (and think of all the good one can do with that kind of money…)
