I don't want to nitpick, but the Article says Alphabet.

Alphabet is Google.

No, Alphabet is the parent company to Google. There's a slight difference.

It's Google plus companies that Google has spun off?

Google birthed a parent company called Alphabet.

Well I'll be.. A parent-child relationship more odd than those found in os process hierarchies.
