Google might fail in the long run for the simple reason that new, valuable information being added to the internet isn't necessarily going to be available on the web, in indexable fashion. Google won the web, and they're strangling it to death in the same way Microsoft strangled the PC industry.
Meanwhile the rest of the computing industry is heading in a direction opposite to what Google can make huge sums of money in and dominate in the way they currently do. Instead of static web pages with low information-to-noise ratio and plastered with ads the internet is moving toward a data-consumption model through highly targeted mobile and mobile web applications. The search engine bully will no longer have a place at the table.
