| it. 'Licensing & Other Revenue' was just 1.0% of total revenues in Q1 of
| 2007. Now, Google appears to be beefing up this tiny part of its business
| model.

| Another reason is that Google Gears very intelligently gets the Open
| Source community of worldwide developers get involved in a guerrilla
| war of sorts against Microsoft in the technology industry.
|
| This further helps Google in terms of getting more innovation
| through individual and joint developer efforts, distributed
| computing, moving applications towards a single standard for
| offline capabilities. You could say Google is a wannabe giant
| backing the underdogs against an entrenched giant.
