Google Doubles its Profits

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."

    Microsoft makes money by selling software, which might actually be of use for people.

    Google could be all the things you said, but at least it gets the job done. Their search engine works. Their tools work. And I definitely can choose to use Google or not. Not many people can say the same about Microsoft products.
