A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This was a trip back in time, seeing things like Meebo and Picasa that G purchased and killed off. 😕
That's just the nature of corporate pirates, they loot and plunder what they can use and integrate into their own products then scuttle the rest
Most often not even taking the things that made the plundered product great in the first place, unfortunately.
Most times companies do acquisitions just because they want to get a patent, or just hire the dev team with specific skills. The product for them was worthless from the beginning,
