what you've said is 'sad but true', a company based purely on innovation has no chance against a company based on capital, no matter how innovative the former.
what i see i google capitalizing on their adsense marketing data, eventually.
incidentally there is an article in the most recent wired (13.09) reguarding yahoo's new video search/video on demand technology. although i think this is wonderful and innovative, again, i see no way for them to do this solely based on the, umm, 'coolness' factor?
google will peak then sell it's marketing data

Has Google Peaked?

perhaps i'm alone in feeling this way, but no company has a soul. none. any corporation in our capitalist economy has one goal: create a return for investors (or, make money).
what does this have to do with google? simple. a company like google saying 'do no evil' is the most banal meaningless and baseless statement ever, unless you've seen the shell ads talking about 'human power' and 'alternative fuels'. there's absolutely no reason for google to 'do no evil', there's no market share that's based on the ability for a company to be 'evil free'.
where does that leave us? my feeling, and i feel very strongly this way, is that google (although they won't admit it) collects and aggregates marketing data, hoards of marketing data. because of their policy towards 'do no evil', they fail to recycle most of this data, other than for their own adsense network. once this stock plateaus, whenever that happens, they'll annonce that they're releasing their marketing data, lay off all their phd's, and the board/heads of the company will be instant billionares (as if they weren't already, but that's the way it works, the collection of capital, more capital.)
to break it down: 1) collect marketing data 2) ipo 3) plateau 4) release marketing data 5) $
