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.

I see what you are saying, however we have to look at the demographics and how that plays into ad sales for Google as well. People who buy Android phones are generally not the audience that advertisers want to hit. People who buy Apple prod

Well, Google's top line has been shrinking in recent quarters, in order to maintain their profit margins and propel their (recently waning) stock, cutting cost is the only real option. PPC accounts for ~90%+ of their business despite t

If they don't censor countries will just block them, it's the same fiasco Google had with Google years ago. Frankly I think it's better to censor and be there than to not be there at all. At least then people can maybe find w

Perhaps it was just vaporware to begin with, and the creator knew this sort of action would create more of a stir than releasing the "schematics" or delaying it constantly. Not that I really trust government, but it seems FAR more

As if Google doesn't have algorithms in place to keep ROI just high enough to incentivize ad spends even in the face of fraud. They have -just enough- incentive to do just enough, but how much of that fraud works its way into Google&#x

My concern isn't that Google is being "open" about click fraud on their network advertising, which I think they are. But what about the fraud on Google service sites themselves. It at that point is no longer in Google's

Surprised many people here seem to think Google Drive is the defining competitor. When the real money is made in enterprise, which I would say Microsoft dominates with OneDrive. Microsoft's bundling of Office 365 with OneDrive and inte

Someone, Google or Microsoft will buy them out. Use their brand name instead of their own and put their cash behind it. Letting Apple dominate the music space is something I think anyone (other than Apple itself) desires...not even the musi

We have adopted Slack recently with a small 12 person (and everyone knows everyone) team and it works great. It really brings down distraction of people coming over to ask questions, they can just ask the question of a group and get it reso
