So based on the performance of advertising, I spose they want to expand ways to attract even more 'dependance' on their sites so they can maximise advertising.

I suspect that the maps will end up being a directory service, sorta a yellow pages, which they will make revenue from, tad diff to their search engine, but makes sense.

Not sure where they're gonna go with very divergent businesses.* and i think eventualy it will put presure on their share price, because all risky non core business ventures will increase the risk to share price stability.

I hope so. :D

What is so bad about Microsoft anyways? I feel they provide the best software and operating systems around. They helped bring this world into the next generation - and people give them shit for it?

Without them there would be nothing.

These people think they have an idea.

Lol, I never realized so many people actually hated Bill Gates for bringing us Microsoft. I
knew the hate was out there for Microsoft...But damn, I'd flip if I was him.

Actualy we should applaud Bill Gates and Microsoft, also IBM and Intel.

IBM allowed other manufacters to make Motherboards, graphics cards, hard disk controlers, screens and keyboards. They allowed Intel to sell the CPU to anyone who chose to use the hardware. Also they chose Bill's DOS as the operating system to standardise on.

As a result the price of computers became cheaper and cheaper as demand picked up and competition ensued.

Without the same OS and the same CPU, this woudl not have happened. This would never have happened with Apple, because apple only allowed themselves to make the hardware, they owned the OS and actively cracked down on anyone who tried to break these rules.

If it wasn't for MS and IBM, a computer would still cost well over 5000 USD for a basic system and would mainly be used for business, we would never have really had home computing.

So a big thanks to Bill from me (lets face it, its because of him i have a job!).

i think google does't have to change anything...just leave the things they have now
