Google's Patents Reveal Strategy To Beat Microsoft
linumax writes "According to 'The Google Legacy,' history is about to repeat itself. From the article: 'Microsoft today is where IBM was years ago. And Google is in a position to do to Bill Gates what he did to IBM. The result could be a new industry kingpin. Arnold, author of The Google Legacy, said in an interview this week that it appears that Microsoft doesn't understand Google in much the same way that IBM didn't understand Microsoft 20 years ago. "It will be the Googleplex from 2004 to 2020 - a network paradigm," said Arnold. "It will be enabled by Google's approach to innovation."'"
in 2020, everyone in /. will be bashing google. History will repeat itself.

That's OK. According to Baldy, Google will not be around long enough to enjoy it.

Then, 20 years from now, compuglobalhypermeganet will re-revolutionize the industry by introducing the 'Toster' paradigm; google (and everyone else for that matter) will be unable to understand this company's buisness model, and thus they will become the industries new kingpin.
Google Maps is good, but would I rather have it running on my machine? Damn right I would!
No, i don't think you would. You would probably find it a bit of a resource hog.
in parent post I meant to say microsoft will be screwed .. not people will be screwed. People will benefit obviously!!
Uh... IBM's revenues for 2004 were in the $96B range, with profits in the $8.4B range. http://www.ibm.com/investor/1q05/1q05earnings.phtm l Pooooor IBM, Pooooor MS...
Generally, bash is superior to python in those environments where python is not installed.
You must refer to your /. double standards manual. Paragraph 1.1.12 clearly states that when MS patent stuff its bad, when Google patent stuff its good and the whole patents are evil issue is a no go.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
I for one welcome our new search engine overlords
Microsoft have a history of copying every one else and never really originating anything. This means always playing catch up and this was fine where the could abuse their IBM and Intel provided OS monopoly to cripple a competitor but when it came to search and the internet it wasn't possible even with internet explorer and it's pre-configured favoratism to msn search (of course it is too late to block access from internet explorer to google). The big thing was MSN search did basically suck, it had such a bias to paid advertisers in front of user experience that it was basically useless and drove people to google (no different to the others that threw away their market leadership yahoo ,alta vista, ask jeevs, infoseek i.e. greed driven stupidity)
Why the jounalists continue to ignore the impact of "do no evil" and the basic underlying respect for the end user in preventing greed from killing a business in the highly competitive internet search enviroment I do not know (perhaps it doesn't sound good or sell marketing product or promote profits over customer experience). Google had no free ride, they competed for users by providing a better more reliable search experience and won. They are just expanding the services whilst adhering to the principles that made succesfull in the first place.
