Motorola Will Be Google’s Most Interesting Project Yet

Google’s $12+ billion Motorola deal is closed, and Google veteran Dennis Woodside is taking over as Motorola CEO. Now the fun begins. For a variety of reasons, this has the potential to be Google’s most interesting project yet.

• This is Google’s first and biggest opportunity to make cool, real, physical things that could change the way people live. That sounds annoyingly optimistic, but it’s true. It is fun to laugh a little at Google’s glasses project, self-driving cars or whatever.
