In what world is Google's top line shrinking? I think you mean the top line's growth rate is slowing.

  Google has seen Q/Q declines in revenue and net income recently which is a huge cry from it's explosive growth before. YoY growth is still steady, but slowing.

    They've gotten more revenue in Q4 than Q1 for a number of years now (since 2011 maybe?) as Q4 tends to bring in a ton of revenue. I don't really see anything else that suggest a pattern like that.

      That's not Q/Q. Q/Q is Q3 to Q4, or Q1 to Q2, etc. There have absolutely been some net income declines. YoY would be Q1 2014 v Q1 2015.

        That's exactly what I'm referring to. e.g. Q4 2014 to Q1 2015 (going back to 2011).
