  Just because a product can be replicated by a single person doesn't make them competitive in any way. I don't think that is a valid concern. It's not a concern. That was never my position. What it does tell us is that search at that level is becoming a commodity. The Google ecosystem as a whole, on the other hand, is not a commodity. That is the competition Apple needs to be concerned about. Also, by your very argument, Google might not have wanted to get into search either. But of course, anyone would laugh at such a statement. Just because you weren't able to synthesize the facts into something more than a straw man, don't assume that it's not possible. Sergey and Brin were pioneers, so of course it's not commodity when they did it. I think the case is strong that it is now.
