Linux turns 29: The biggest events in its history so far

Google had the strength to dump Wave after the bubble burst on the collaboration software, so here are 10 more of its projects that we reckon are ready for the chop

The tech giant gets a pat on the back for ditching an effort that fell flat. Here are our suggestions of a few more Google projects that should be put out of their misery:
