    Say what you will but it takes b*lls to leave $15 Billion in cash at Steve Ballmer's table.

    Moultano, don't be so naive. There's someone above your pay-grade that watches these things, like this change hurt the earnings or increased them. Then winks and nods kick in. Not …

    True, plus Apple can afford to have it ad free long enough to hurt Google. Try adding a 5 sec commercial each time someone asks

    There is a difference between a ban and demotion or penalty. He is not even in the index. I wouldn't be surprised if the Adwords team clicked a box or sent an email to search

    Panda, too, did screw a lot of small businesses as well while promotion the likes of Walmart, Youtube and Bestbuy. Google's coffers are full though http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/1…

    1-3 spots means that you are #4-#7 in reality once the top ads are counted. Many visitors prob don't even know they're ads so they click on the ads on top.

    In the end they had two options: continue a bad policy or admit that they screwed up and change it. Bad decisions happen, everyday.

    The founders should not have to worry about making a living day to day when VCs are pouring tens of millions in their business. Nuf said. And it's not like VCs are unsophisticated …

    Judging by their earnings Facebook isn't doing much selling but that may come after the IPO. Google on the other hand

    More liek Google doesn't have a vision so they're trying to make G+ a catch all. Let's clone every service and hope it works.

    Chartbeat clone, but they can't afford to give it away for free.

    Google products are free--long enough to destroy a poor startup. Shame on Google.

    Should have said brand-able, sorry. But my point still remains, names are extremely important and $250 is relatively nothing. Fix a script for someone and you'll get that much.

    google+ is dead. Google doesn't have the talent. They have the talent, they just aren't sure what to clone.

    acabal, $250 is a steal. Cut on beer and coffee for a month and there you have it. Branded domains can go for a lot more

    The flyers were probably printed before Samsung decided to pay $5 - $15 for each Android they sell to Microsoft.

    It's going to be odd to see Microsoft, Google and Samsung in one stage, celebrating Android. Don't be surprised if Microsoft placed HTC and Samsung Android smartphone ads on their …
