   I understand that, but it's not what I meant. I meant is how he knew that other products such as Play store are not profitable? I don't think Google breaks down the profit reports to this level of granularity, so it might be just

   It does -- there are products for enterprises, hardware, Google Play ecosystem, Internet access (fiber, loon), operating systems, investments into health research and robotics, self-driving cars, house energy and safety products (Nest). Not

   Isn't always on voice search (which is always listening on suitable hardware such as Nexus) and regular search from the Google search bar including results from the supporting apps a universal search?

   Not every data can be modeled as key value store, there are scenarios which require ACID transactions with relational data sets:-)

    Just by glancing over the code overall looks like a poorly structured and inconsistent code, lacking centralized coding guidelines or practices. Pretty scary for a shipping product to have code like this.

    Modular phones (and computers) is a powerful concept that worked really well with hobbyists (and gamers) so far. It seems to be a healthy duopoly with all-in-one computing devices we're seeing lately.

    As a side question, I'm curious why you think that Google is becoming "more and more" evil? There are products like Cultural Institute, google.org, and many others which prove just the opposite.

    You're comparing apples to oranges. Riding multi-day bicycle race is completely different from the running a single marathon event. Some people run marathons every day, for a year ( http://edition.cnn.com/2011/SPORT
