    Google bought half the smartphone team, the people HTC had working on the Google phones. HTC is still making their own phones. They just announced the U12 Plus.

    At my first programming job, when people complained at how old certain computers were, my team lead would pull out one he did. It was a program he built by hard wiring a circuit card with jumper wires.
