This is likely to yield even more internet search engine dominance, though a better fit than Microsoft, other companies, including Alibaba com from China. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

| 1239584 | 2011-10-24 22:20:00 | True, as in many countries for anti-trust. Since founder partner Larry Page came on board as CEO recently, been driving a lot of changes, including wiping many of their lab products, killing of Buzz, and more mobile targeting. Google also performed relatively well for profits (investor.google.com), and recent quarter (investor.google.com) compared to many businesses. How much do they want? or Need? | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

Google also performed relatively well for profits (investor.google.com), compared to many businesses. How much do they want? or Need?As much as they can get - they're legally obligated to make as much money as they can for their shareholders - mandated by USA corporate law. |
