"It's the ads. Always the ads."

This is so cynical i don't even know where to begin.

I guess i'll start here:

Do you really think Larry Page is so single minded he can't tell someone "hey, that sounds like a really cool idea, go do that" without thinking "gee i wonder how we are going to make money on ads with that"?



He goddamn well better be. The most recent non-ad initiatives they have done have been shit. Glass is nothing bit nerd porn, and Android has made more money for Samsung and Microsoft than Google.

So yeah, it'd be nice to see some focus.


>Android has made more money for Samsung and Microsoft than Google

Are you accounting the massive increase in mobile ads, and everything else that Google gains by having hundreds of millions carry Google with 24/7?
