The story in the New Yorker criticized Google for being a company that is not necessarily well-managed. And it said that Google's only revenue comes from their search engine. I don't see a problem with that. Obviously, management is important, but their revenue has nowhere to go but up.
The article also pointed out that Google will never make money with YouTube because of high storage cost. Well, part of that high cost is the energy bill. Here's what Google has to say about that: Google planning on moving some of its data centers to international waters?
The company wants to use the cold ocean water to cool its servers. It will be a high cost to build, but it is a green effort to save energy costs. I only see that helping.
I just can't fathom a mammoth company like Google going away. They will continue to innovate with ideas like Gmail — which only made e-mail better — and the Android phone, which is set to pass the iPhone as the second most popular phone on the market within a few years.
Get used to it. Google is here to stay.
