I think there are a lot of exaggerations in this. > In the last decade Google invented the web. > They built an amazing cloud infrastructure that if it's not 'running' the internet today, there's a good change it will in the future What is this referring to? App Engine? > No one comes close to Google's reliability and ability to scale. Anyone can fail but Google. App engine, gmail, google voice have all failed in the past year. > Google is a leader in website optimizations. Google are great at optimisation but mozilla and the webkit team are almost on equal footing. They are definitely not "light years ahead". Even so, I agree with the sentiment. I think google is a great company and some of the more lesser known stuff they do is really exciting. I remember the journal earlier this year about Google's advances in distributed databases. Those kinds of things is what this article should referencing.
