Great company, bad name. Pretty sure the company name was chosen by a non-native English speaker since it's an Israeli company after all. Sort of like Wix... Wix also an Israeli company with an odd sounding name (although better then Wiz).

What's wrong with the name Wiz?

Whizz is onomatopoeia (well, ish) for urinating in English

we don't need to be pessimistic about every other thing.

When it comes to Google it’s not being pessimistic, it’s just being realistic.

Its boring though?

Pessimism is so lame and uninteresting for discussions

Maybe for most of their acquisitions (but I don’t know). But they do get acquisitions right: YouTube, android, double click, Waze…
