You see Google a lot as they check everything from the point of profit, but they drop as fast as they adopt...
Intel and IBM on the other hand have the longer run. They research subject with more determination and with less focus on the 'personal' gain of the company...

I feel the backbone for software and Hardware is the Chips, and there is more than Intel that make Chips!
|

Yes, ARM is probably the most used processor on the planet.
But...ARM don't make chips. ARM licence their core design to people who want to make chips, and they build the processors with the additional peripherals they need.
But...they don't innovate - they improve and expand the range, but they don't produce whole new genres in the way Google does. Or even create marketing genres in the way Apple do.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

being the backbone doesn't necessarily mean they're innovative, just means they're very good at designing CPUs.

On what you consider inovative or stupid.
or
Why would anyone even "need" that ?

Big companies will tell you what you need. Don't you worry.

I'm sure they will try.
I guess I will have to go back to my Times Sinclair 1000 to do all of my work on.
Oh, where did I put that casette tape drive at.

Um...they do. It's called "Google" and they sell it heavily to advertisers, to the tune of $60,000,000,000 per year. (Quora[^], for 2014)

Um, you mean apart from their multi-billion dollar advertising platform? Or their hosted office suites such as Google Drive and GMail? Or...the rest of the Alphabet of products they have?

Irony: Alphabet is the company that owns Google itself.

While were on conspiracy theories Microsoft is a charity, Apple is a record company masquerading as a technology giant and Intel is a quasi government organization funded by taxpayers.

It almost made the cut. Almost.
I really wanted to stick to the players getting more news time (though Watson is, admittedly, a killer piece of work) and was hoping those not in the list would be called out explicitly in this forum.

At least their products remain in production for a longer time, as compared to Google, whose Google Glass came up as, "Google's view of technology" and just had to melt down as a chocolate chip.

True.
Microsoft, for all its faults, tends to keep things going. With Google you are far more likely to find your favourite things disappearing overnight. That was one argument I used to persuade my employer to use Office 365 rather than Google Apps.

However, I do not think they are really doing much innovative. Really just reinventing the wheel, but it is a better wheel.
|

I dunno, they seem to be very innovative in their internal stuff, so maybe its not 'relevant' to the rest of us, but still.
But for the few others that operate or want to operate at Google's scale, then I think Google out innovate all of them.
