Oh good--post a link to your own poorly-reasoned blog post on Hacker News. Terrific--there's 5 minutes of my life I won't be able to get back.

1.) I'd be a lot more inclined to take your opinions seriously if you would take a moment to spell check your work before posting it. It's not that difficult really--use Chrome or Firefox--spell checking is built in.

2.) <sarcasm> You heard of this phone OS called Android? I hear it's really starting to catch on. I think it's somehow related to Google. But they'll never catch up to Facebook's smart phone OS--what's it called again?

Yep Facebook is bound to eat Google's lunch any day now. Because Google is staffed by a load of incompetents who'll twiddle their thumbs while Facebook nimbly beats them to death. </sarcasm>

There's nothing insightful or worthwhile about your blog posting. Don't waste your time. More importantly don't waste my time by linking to this poorly-reasoned, misspelled tripe on Hacker News.

While I agree that spelling mistakes are painful to bear, I believe you are being too harsh on the author. As someone said on Quora [1]:

"Sarcasm is most appropriate when shared between two people who have similar thought patterns. That's when sarcasm is actually funny. When the sarcasm isn't shared, it's usually an avenue of passive aggression."

How much of Google's revenue do you expect to be generated from Android OS? Further, Facebook apps are on apple and android products, giving them a larger market share than android alone could ever have. The OS alone will not be generating revenue.

I'm thinking about $1.3 Billion or so in 2012.

Also, I will add, nearly every article you read on Hacker news is a blog post on the submittors own blog. Is their something wrong with doing this?

If you found it so terrible, why did you continue reading for a whole 5 minutes and not stop after 1, clearly it must have had some value.

Google makes the vast majority of its current revenue from search and email, not from Android. $1.3 billion is projected and is about 3% of $32 billion a year revenue, the vast majority of which comes from search. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=GOOG
