At least Google acts somewhat optimistic (trying to fund as many interesting things as possible). Apple and Microsoft are the kings of surgically ensuring positive contribution margin to the exclusion of voyaging into the unknown. I have never run a $x00B company to know what runs through your head, but I find it strange that this cash is not plowed into new ideas.
No worthwhile ideas to pursue. Microsoft Research does a lot of idea pursuing nevertheless.
Lately especially. It is exciting.
