A report from Business Insider claims that Google has axed "dozens" of employees from its laptop and tablet division. BI's sources describe the move as causing "roadmap cutbacks" and that Google will likely "pare down the portfolio" in the future.
[...] Google's Hardware division is run by Rick Osterloh and is expected to launch a game streaming console later this month. The division is responsible for the Pixel phones, Google Home speakers, the Chromecast, Google Wi-Fi, and lately, the Nest smart home division.
Why is Google having a hard time cracking the hardware market?

I don't know. I preferred AltaVista for a long time after most people were saying that Google was the right approach. But then I like to search by complex boolean expressions.
Unfortunately, AltaVista didn't grow with the web, and Google did. So eventually I was forced to change over. But AltaVista returned results that were more precisely what I was looking for...if they found anything.
