Google's mission to provide access to all information that exists. So if they can fulfill this mission, they take over the market. If they take over the market, they make revenue from things such as Google Adsense, ad placements, etc. Google got $5.3 billion in sales just over $1 billion in profit last quarter. Obviously, they are doing very well.

just think of google as MC Hammer.
I watched the biography on MC Hammer via VH1 a few years ago, but he said he paid homeless people to just "stand right there" during his concerts as a philanthropic gesture.
They are doing something good for us, and one day, after the world again realizes the vitality of pop rap, my Hammer pants will make me king of the dance floor.

have a strange feeling it might be the new standard browser in the future operating systems of microsoft and that they will get rid of internet explorer sometime soon.. Microsoft and Google will possibly Corporate big time..
This is amazing programming , each tab having its own memory process Google are really pulling out the big guns on Microsoft , they have even built there own V8 Virtual Machine , I also like the Sandbox restriction utility.
Microsoft IE is total sh*t compared to this , I read that the new windows will be web based using Citrix technology , its going to be interesting thats for sure.

I'm pretty dissapointed with Firefox 3.0 as well. Seems really unstable in comparison to it's previous versions. This looks to be a very nice alternative.
When did they say the release date was going to be?
