So many "smart" employees, such "academic" prowess, yet once again, Google is as dumb as fuck. Common sense - you fail it! Still, this highlights an awesome time and opportunity for fellow startups - the big G must be so bloated and diseased now, to keep doing this kind of shit, that startups should and must nip at their fat heels, and steal away market share, even if at tiny amounts to start with.

We can do it! In ten years, we will ask "remember Google?" - oh yeah, I think, weren't they like a bloated search company or something?



remember yahoo? XD


Yahoo! has a $40B market cap, and almost $50B in cash and assets. People may wave their arms about Alibaba, but yeah - Alibaba.

Google - almost 10 times the size of Yahoo! - has moved on to infrastructure projects that will have them around for decades. Marry that to ~$400B market cap that bounces around #2 or 3 in the world and about $100B in cash and...

Yeah. You'll remember Yahoo! and Google most of the rest of your lives.
