Hi Dad soup! From 'A Goofy Movie' right? Haha.
This was a good decision on Google's part because it allows Google to focus on itself to improve and become a better company. Google can now still be somewhat connected to its other projects and still be focused on its core services and products.
first rule of doing a good interview is "do a interview" this is a smorgasbord of "yeah" "maybe" "I mean" plus some facts. I had to Google bits and pieces of this to understand anything at.

Just wondering - are rumpled shirts a fashion thing in USA or is he just unable to iron it?
1) we were never introduced to ether of the speakers and what position they held 2) They never ate the soup
Alphabet sounds like a company that would take over the world.
Why does everyone in this video have an Apple mac computer?
There is no easier way to understand it than this...imagine you are a profit hungry investor who gives Google 10 dollars for 1 share. Now, previously what would have happened is that you have seen 1 dollar in profit against that share but in your investor report you have been alarmed by the $1B sunk cost of google lens project. You would be pissed because they took your money and invested it in a thing that even didnt generate revenue. By splitting google, you as a conservative investor, now have an opportunity of only investing in google search engine business whereas another investor who is not as risk averse as you are, can his/her luck with other google businesses.

some kind of silicon valley-speak, i would assume
this interview seemed to answer all my questions in the first 4 minutes. the rest is just rehash examples.
I still find it amazing that there was only a 9 year gap between KZread, a revolution in digital video sharing, and SELF-DRIVING CARS. What's next, a flexible, paper thin tablet? I'd expect it by 2020.
How will this effect KZread and ads?
poor guy, didn´t get too eat his cereal...
It basically seems like the main reason Alphabet exists is for investors and outside money/funds/help. If you invest in Google and do not want to invest in these different future projects, now you can. Likewise, if you want to invest in the other side projects, but not fundamental Google stuff, you can as well
so can you invest in Google separately from Alphabet ??
Ok. I thought google search was getting renamed to alphabet.
Chester, is that you?
His eyes are waaaay too animated.
So who's going to get to use the name alphabet, Google or BMW?
All I notice is how crinkled that guys shirt collar is!!!!! Driving me nuts.... Anyone else notice???
The ABC's of SkyNet...
The whole time they kept stirring the soup and didn't eat it. Kids in Africa could have eaten it.
why are they discussing this over a bowl of soup?
1:02 google is not making money out of search, its ads! never forget
I don't like the whole Alphabet idea. The whole google idea made it seem friendly, and like their whole ecosystem is a big huge family. But with Alphabet, it kind of feels like a giant business for revenue. it feels like projects can't be started within Google anymore.
why don't you ever talk about apple being broken up? why do people see google as a predator company but not apple?
is he using an apple computer at a Google interview
is that a hickey on his neck? lol
This resembles the Disney structure just maybe a bit more cooperative. It's a great strategy it worked for Disney.
Anyone notice the hickey and dry lips?
It's a financial move and also shirks responsibility.
I'm liking the Goofy Movie deep cuts.

but wait.. is android still part of google or Alphabet?
so who owns all the of the money? if lets say nest losses some money will alphabet be losing money. does alphabet have final say of a big project or only when that project needs money from the pool

stock holders own the money o.O you have the potential to put your money on the safe bet of ad revenue or invest in their wild wacky future projects. Google is being subdivided under the umbrella of alphabet. each CEO is their own boss subject to a board but have a mentor through alphabet (the original founders of Google)
