,----[ Quote ]
| It's official: Google is now bigger than Windows.
|
| A statement like that always comes with qualifiers, and they're detailed
| below. But the basic fact is this: For the first time, Google Inc.'s revenue
| edged out Microsoft Corp.'s sales of Windows for PCs in quarterly results
| reported by the companies last week.

However much is in your Facebook, it ain't a new Google

| Facebook's expansion has already prompted some daft speculation about whether
| it will be the 'next Microsoft' or 'the next Google'. These feverish ravings
| were given an additional boost last Thursday when Facebook made its first
| acquisition - of a mysterious outfit called Parakey whose website is a model
| of bland understatement. 'Computers are frustrating,' it burbles. 'Creating
| documents, finding files, sharing information - why do everyday things still
| seem so tedious and counterintuitive? We hope that Parakey will make your
| life easier.' And that's it.
