Is Google Eating Microsoft's Cash Cow? 

,----[ Quote ]
| With numbers like those, Google only has to 
| take a modest chunk of Office's market share to 
| do real harm to Microsoft's bottom line. And 
| with each new release, it looks more and more 
| like Google is up to the task.

Is Yahoo's CEO Really In A Position To Tell Google What It Needs To Do?

,----[ Quote ]
| I don't think that anyone judges Google based 
| on how "interesting" they are. Is that the 
| metric they use at Yahoo? Does that explain the 
| $47 million she apparently made last year? 
| Because she made Yahoo so interesting? Well, I 
| guess it should be admitted that Yahoo is the 
| company that is trying (and so far, failing) to 
| patent "interestingness," so perhaps she's just 
| urging Google to be interesting for the sake of 
| a future patent fight? In the meantime, I would 
| assume that, at Google, they judge the company 
| based on how much money it makes -- and on that 
| front, it appears to be cleaning Yahoo's clock 
| on a pretty regular basis.
