Google spews out Alphabet. Alphabet gobbles Google Google morphed into its new holding company, Alphabet, after close of business on Friday. The Chocolate Factory announced a huge rejig of its biz in August, when Sundar Pichai was crowned chief exec of Google. The ad giant's co-founder Larry Page and Sergey Brin now head up Alphabet as CEO and president. Google, meanwhile, …
Brin and Page the new Musk's?

Time magazine says "Alphabet has dropped 'Don't be Evil' mantra from it's code of conduct." At least they are honest about their tracking business model. Google has always been one of the more evil tech companies out there.

Sure you didn't want to add an admonishment about the 'liberal media league' in there as well?
You do know it really doesn't matter who you vote in the white house, don't you? It's all a circus.
At least in the U.K we now have breadth of choice of nutter, not just shades of the same spoon-fed capitalist right-winger clones.
