Google Might Disappear in Five Years
An anonymous reader writes "Speaking to a packed auditorium at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., on May 12, Ballmer trumpeted the ripe opportunities around Microsoft's sprawling business and questioned the ability of Google to maintain its edge. Clearly alluding to Microsoft's key Internet search rival, Ballmer said: 'The hottest company right now -- the one nobody thinks can do any wrong -- may just be a one-hit wonder.' According to concept developed by Ballmer, the online search engines represent the key points of the future technology, and the leader in this domain, none other than Google, is destined to perish in less than five years. These predictions belong exclusively to Microsoft's CEO who sounds a little like Bill Gates announcing iPod's death."
What a load of rubbish, The CEO of a competing company says that Google will not be here in 5 years. This is about as acurit a prediction as the Ipod-Killers.

google may share its market a little more in 5 years with some new search engines which take some of its market , but it will not kill google.Last time i heard Google was doing extremly well from its Advertising bussines and is certainly sustainable for the foreseeable future.
So i have this to say to you Ballmer
