Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the selling-like-hotcakes dept.

WinEveryGame writes "Google just announced a very strong quarter. The internet search engine said it had net income of $721m, or $2.33 per diluted share, up from $343m a year earlier. Wall Street had expected earnings of $1.94 per share. Earlier this week Yahoo had announced lower than expected earnings."

    Does somebody else find it funny, how the web sites have become verbs. Look at the button 'Google Slashdot'. Imagine 'Slashdot Google' or 'Slashdot University of California' buttons to kill the web sites.

    Are you kidding? Have you even been to the Google Store?! They do t-shirts, mugs - heck they even sell Lava Lamps! I'd like to see the adblocker that can block those babies...

    People said the same thing about Microsoft.
