False! They're not changing the name. They're opening ANOTHER parent company called "Alphabet". "Google" and "Alphabet" are different entities. SOURCE: BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33857412 Google has unveiled a surprise restructuring, creating a new parent company called Alphabet Inc. Under the rebranding, Google will retain its best-known businesses, such as search, apps, YouTube and Android. Some of the newer entities, such as the investment and research divisions, the "smart-home" unit Nest, and the drone arm will be run under Alphabet. Google founder Larry Page said it would create a simpler structure for what had become a diverse group of businesses. "This new structure will allow us to keep tremendous focus on the extraordinary opportunities we have inside of Google," he said in the blogpost. "Our company is operating well today, but we think we can make it cleaner and more accountable," he said. "The whole point is that Alphabet companies should have independence and develop their own brands." Mr Page will become chief executive of Alphabet, with senior vice president Sundar Pichai becoming CEO of Google. Mr Page's fellow Google co-founder Sergey Brin will become president of Alphabet, and Eric Schmidt, the current Google chairman, will be executive chairman of the holding company. What's in a name? Google's new chief financial officer, Ruth Porat, will hold the same title for both Google and Alphabet. BGC Partners' investment analyst Colin Gillis said the new structure should give investors greater clarity on strategy and how much Google was spending on new products. "There's been a lot of speculation about how much money they put into these other ventures," Mr Gillis told Bloomberg. "That will come to an end. This also gives them the structure to add in another business line if they were to acquire something. The mechanism is in place." The name Alphabet was chosen for two reasons, Mr Page said. It represents language, "the core of how we index with Google search", and because Alpha-bet means "investment return above benchmark, which we strive to do". |

Part of the science and technology of the end times! Exciting, but strangely, sobering! We are getting there by and by on all fronts especially on the back of knowledge explosion! Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Jesus is Lord! |

They did not change name. They only created a parent company called Alphabet with Google being a subsidiary. The plan is to run all businesses under the parent Alphabet company. |

Google is still Google. the name has not and is not changing anytime soon. Alphabet has just become the parent company of Google and other subsidiaries. Google will still retain its identity but as a unit that will no longer be saddled with the responsibilities that come with the other subsidiaries owned. |

Let's not fool ourselves anymore. Too many posters submit comments without reading the article. Reading the firstpage its obvious only one poster assimilated the thread while others posted only after viewing the topic title. Lalasticlala its high time you push my thread about summarizing thread information to the frontpage; it'd increase the quality of posts users submit as less reading is needed to understand posts. |

They are not changing name per say, just restructuring and putting things in order... Google is now a sub-company of the tech giant. http://www.flingsmobile.com/g-for-google-alphabet-emerges/ |
