Never said it died. It's a flop. You might like it, just in the same way I like Wave, but it's simply no match for Paypal.
I quoted PC World in a comment above, regarding the matter. You might want to have a look.

I totally agree.

No, it's the server. Slashdot created a really heavy traffic spike.

Not my words:

"In June 2007 thousands of eBay loyalists descended on Boston for eBay's annual sellers convention. And in hopes of promoting its new Google Checkout payment system--which would be competing directly with eBay's Paypal subsidiary--Google organized a party to be held during the eBay show, inviting eBay sellers to attend. In addition, the Google party was supposed to be a protest against eBay for barring merchants from using Google Checkout.

When eBay got wind of Google's plan, it promptly cancelled all of its U.S. ads running on the search engine for more than a week. At the time, eBay was the single largest buyer of search ads on Google.

Google cancelled its Boston tea party." - PC World

I must say I agree. An option to integrate it to Gmail would have been nice.

What exactly about Wave killed your productivity?

Actually, I think the form factor is pretty good here. They left out the legs, the only thing that we really don't need up there. Arms are wonderfully flexible mechanical machines, our upper body holds the vital machinery and our head has the sensors. Humans need to breathe, and they need moderate temperatures, unlike the robot, which makes it perfect for space. The chromed head and white "I, Robot"-like shell are purely aesthetic, but the form factor is good.

Call me greedy, but I can't wait for Orbiter 2014.

Yup. They obviously broke everything with the update and we'll have to wait for them to fix it. Question is, how long will that be if they don't even read their support tickets?

True, but this won't work in China (and some other countries which I can't remember).
