I think the general rule is anything google acquired was good and anything they built themselves was bad and ended up getting killed.

There are exceptions but some of the only decent parts of google; maps, YouTube, AdWords were all acquisitions. I think they even just got HTC to build the pixel exclusively for them

They used to have a nice clean usable web search back in 2000 or so.

And now they have a financial sheet with billions in the black.

What pisses me off is the fitfit app requiring i turn on my location to sync my flex 2 mere weeks after google buys them out.

It doesn't even have a screen, why do you need a location?
