> Imagine if Google's last product was Docs. No Android, no Doubleclick, no Street View, no autocomplete in search, no Chrome.

Android, DoubleClick, Google Maps (Where 2, ZipDash), Google Earth (Keyhole), and Google Docs (Writely, 2Web, Tonic, DocVerse, Quickoffice) were built of acquisitions, not new Google products. Chrome, too, in a sense (WebKit).

Thought experiment: what if Yahoo!, not Google, had acquired all those companies instead?

They _did_ buy Tumblr and all you ever read about that is Yahoo writing off more of the Tumblr value.

How are their other acquisitions doing?

I wonder if I'd be using a Samsung WP10 model, instead of a Galaxy, still using Firefox, and using the Office365 suite. Maybe MapQuest, again.
