Google is limited by the amount of advertising revenue it can generate, but considering no other internet (or other) company has been in Google's position where they can conceivably reach millions of customers with billions of ads, I think the assertion that Google is the ultimate money making machine is well-grounded. Almost no friction. Ubiquitous presence - close to monopoly. Ability to fend off competitors. They can't run out of resources, maintenance is low, they HAVE virtually solved the supply/demand question by weaving themselves into every website....The only immediate problem they could face would be corruption, accounting/financial illegal behavior, or possibly some monopoly issues. You say Google is not the magical money machine Iskold says it is, and you back that up with no evidence. What makes you dissent? Just competition?
