Google To Discontinue Google Labs
kai_hiwatari writes "Today, Google has announced that they are closing down Google Labs. They say this will help them prioritize their product effort. Google says closing Google Labs means ending many of their experiments. However, not every experiment will be gone. Google will be incorporating the Labs experiments they have decided to continue in other product areas. Android apps such as Google Goggles, Google Listen etc. will continue to be available in the Android Market."
Worse then the death of Wave? /snark
Fortunately for us, a little company called Apple stands in their way.
Is funny or depressing...
An email came through and a coworker died last night. Everybody read it and then went about their day.
This announcement came on Slashdot and I just heard three people exclaim "Noooo!!!"
I am still undecided whether that is a sad state of affairs or funny....
No time for innovation. All resources must be used to better clone Facebook.
I can almost hear Don McLean in the background - very, very faintly...
And they were singin',
I, I'm feeling lucky today
I boot my Chrometop to the desktop but the Wave's gone away
And Google boys turn off their Goggles and say
This'll be the day I get laid
