Google is an advertisement company and their long-term view is getting revenue from showing you ads. The rest is just the means of maintaining the "we are not evil" image so people won't get scared away to alternative search engines.

- alexnewman 8y agoDo you also agree that if users don't use the value added services of cloud computing it could become a commodity business with very low margins?
- manigandham 8y agoYes. General compute and storage is already commodity.
