it doesnt matter who runs google. its literally a money printing monopoly with search. And that will never end. And they can plow that money wherever they want. (even into a furance) and theyll be fine. Especially if you add in youtube money.

Until it does. Go back 20 years and you could've written the same thing about Microsoft and end-user computing.

Google under Pichai looks increasingly like Microsoft under Balmer. Executing to stellar headline numbers, but increasingly paralyzed in anything other than their one or two anchor products.

It took a change at the top to turn Microsoft around. I expect Pichai to go the same way as Balmer.
