I think the thing that has plagued Linux and Windows devices for ever is that they are based on tech toys for tech people and frankly we are a fairly small and mostly autistic bunch. To the annoyance of most of the tech industry, the reason that Apple did so well is that they completely ignore the tech sector. The other 90% of the planet doesn't give a hoot if their phone has an O-LED screen. they really don't care about support for different protocols or jacks they just want a sleek thing that does noddy stuff... Apple access this market perfectly. and if you want a multi-billion success you can't keep playing to the relatively small market of techies.

Google Self-Driving Cars. Years of hype, still not on the market. In the meantime you can buy and own a self-driving Tesla.
Google haven't done anything interesting for years.
Cars... nobody has cracked this yet certainly not Tesla. It's a wide open market awaiting legislation to allow them to be used, which will turn the world on its head.
Note, Google can gain from self-driving cars even without selling them, if they can make their StreetView fleet entirely automated and save on employee costs.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
