Google Doubles its Profits
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."
"Google had a net income of $721 million, according to TFA. Microsoft's net income last quarter was $2.83"
Yeah, but Google is a usefull tool. Nothing Microsoft makes works properly.
Micrisoft has been around since the 1970s. Google's been around, what, five years? I've never seen any computer company make so many huge errors in judgement and forcasting as MS, their sheer size and lock-in saves them but this won't last forever.
And few companies, if any, have matched google usefullnes and rapid ascention to a verb.
"Google this"
"windows... uh, they break".
Sorry Bill. You don't get a verb.
The only thing poor Bill does right is give money away and his most recent one of a third of a billion for an aids vaccine is right on and should be enough to justify buying windows even if you don't do it. And he deserves credit fot parlaying basic into something as big as it is now. But I still think it was luck more than any thing else.
Your shit just don't work, Bill.
Need Mercedes parts ?
Microsoft makes money by selling software, which might actually be of use for people.
Google makes money by data-mining, information hogging and add selling, which by itself is the incarnation of all that is evil about the web going commercial.
But somehow,google is the one thats "not evil". I guess marketing works.
HI O WISE PRINCE. WHT TOOK U SO DAM LONG?
