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.

Real names = self censorship.

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.

Skype, Facebook, Zynga, Twitter, Jawbone and Box.net are all in the Andreeson Horowitz portfolio. He seems to be doing fine. He bought FB way too late than most others. What valuation did he buy in Zynga, Twitter etc than we'll talk? Jut

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

Andreesen pointed out recently, it was pretty common ten years ago for startups to sink tons of cash into Oracle And Andreessen should be listened in this field because.... ? Serious corporations go for IBM, Oracle, SAP and the likes. Th

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

True to a point but there is no love lost between Google and Microsoft. Google tried to drive Microsoft out of business with the Google Pack, Chrome OS etc. No serious company would turn $5 for each Android. Apple is no fan of Google either

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 homepage, it's very lucrative.

They are probably subsidizing them. 20 years is a long time, especially when people move often and technology changes.

Those that sold shovels during the gold rush, made money too. There's a video of Bill Gates making a mathematical case why solar will not solve our problems. We need another nuclear plant, the name escape but I think it uses all the nuclear

The financing approach makes a lot of sense for Google. They can make a lot of money without building any sort of infrastructure. Solar is more hype than anything, and it's good press. Is anyone making money from solar?

I like this BUT addons need to catch up and for many it's impossible due to such frequent changes.

Huge benefits for G Drive! For example they will even scan the contents and let you know /IRS about any tax discrepancies for example.

Clearly you're trying to imply that some country is behind this, so feel free to just say it out loud instead of being cute about it and wasting everyone's time. It's an internet forum, not a court of law. OK? I am speculating. When someo

Unless someone with unusual hacking capabilities only started trying recently. 'Usual' hackers are probably a step above script kiddies. On the top end you have state sponsored PHDs

Google can disappear tomorrow and Bing, Blekko and DDG can take over. Webmasters will get more traffic since all have way less ads than Google, and that's about it. You know what happened after the fall of the Roman empire, do you?

Google sends me to sites all the time The trend is your friend, but understand that ads look similar to normal results to many people. I'm also not aware of accusations that advertisers affect results.) Use your imagination or ask Larry

Sorry, I mean search market share was declining. Gmail is # to Hotmail and Yahoo, despite all the hype. Can G out-Microsoft Microsoft in Office? I doubt it. Analytics and everything else is subsidized by search.

Without Google, Ytbe would be sued to oblivion, and if it's making money it can't be that much. Android would last a couple of hours without Google's tens of billions in protection. Isn't it free anyway? Revenue vs earnings matter on Adsens

If you're countryX and want to bring down everything, hacking sites like mysql, apache, kernel and the likes would do the most damage

Search makes no money at all. But adsense does. Adsense relatively makes little since they pay most to site-owners, whatever they call the ads on Google make the money. After 11 years has, Google has what, other than search?

That's the old Google you're talking about.

Google has G Analytic and now G+. Logged in or not they have the IP. But the chart is about time spent online

"The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users," so let's make some more money. Let's not send visitors to sites anymore! Brilliant!
