Tru that. It was cool when Gmail came out, and now its like ... whatever. I'm not impressed with Google whatsoever anymore. They are just stealing ideas now. It's just too many new things.

No, that's not true. Ca. $80B+ is Google's capitalization, not income.

Google income for the 2004 was ca. $204M.

So your "estimates" were 400x times exaggerated

Dont worry google won't take over, they are expanding to fast. Companys that expand as much as google does will finally make a mistake.

Haha, if google takes over the internet won't be called internet any longer. It will just be called "Google".
Besides, we are already hearing it happen:
"Go on Google and find information on World War II".

But Google isn't going to "takeover", some other company will rise up, its just laissez-faire, boys.

Exactly, and also Gmail is the best email service on the web. Froogle.. okay not so good as maqybe kelkoo, but not bad. Google news groups, the best. Google Messenger, not bad for v1 ?? v1 of msn was nothing to it really...

Google will take over the internet market as leading competitors, but bonking off Billy G and major hosting companies? thats going a bit far lol.

Wow.. that was so touching, imagine if all of that happened, i think that google will be rivaled by some other company, in later life and then google will fall dramatically, but that may not be for ages so we will all have to stay with google for a bit as it is the most used search engine
