google needs to redesign their products to create more white space for ad inventory. but eventually they wont be able to keep driving clicks up once their products are saturated with ads

what is the 150 billion figure you are quoting? cause their sales are even higher than that, their profits are nowhere near 150 billion, but their market value is nearly half a trillion

reminder that this is the 10th straight quarter of CPC declines for google

google's ad network has been in decline for years. google's non-network ad business just keeps getting better and better

it's not clear to me why these unrelated businesses are under the same umbrella firm

their CPC and paid clicks metrics include their own sites as well as network sites. so the decline in CPC is across the board

when the keyboard comes up, the stuff in the middle of the screen should not go behind the keyboard, but instead move up above it. in apps made for fullscreen, this does not work.

the reason you had never knew about its greatness is that the interface is terrible

  • it is only distributed as a browser plugin

  • google+ is mandatory

  • scheduling a meeting is also through g+, and it doesnt give you a calendar file or anything to load into outlook

  • the web interface to set up a hangout is confusing as gently caress

goog makes you wade through a sewer to eat in a world class restaurant
