What's the worst thing that could happen to Google?
Create: It is the collapse of the US Empire.Which is bound to happen given History, like it or not, even if it is not allowed to fail (wall street).If you look at GOOG closely, you will realize, that it is not based on the purported commercial grounds at all. No single Company can:- map the moon as a "cool factor"- get all the UN translations for Bayes- inherit the Corona Project- hand out Tb of mail storage ...does your default Corporate Entity allow that for their employees, let alone for anybody?- have urchins and alike everywhere- use NASA site as a terminal (that's a challenge(er))- view all the streets it is allowed to (think urban w[t]f)- operate one of the largest computers on the Planet, though interestingly enough still with only a few percent of Intel's production- scan all books ...and "legally" violate (C) at the drop of the hat (have the power to make law up as you go)...you would have hard trouble doing any of the above, let alone do all of them at once (with still some omissions) without strong backing. If you rather think of it as a RAND, you will notice, that all this has nothing to do with the order of magnitude of the rev. sources you are alluding to. And think of search the other way around (like zeitgeist), it will make much more sense.
