Heh waiting for the M$ f......supporters to come complain about the article and defend such a "great" company. However, Disolitude you are right about the stock split in 03. Apple truly has become a force, and on the smartphone front it seems Android dominates followed by Apple.

This may throw this discussion out of control, but all this Android smartphone "domination" is not making Google nearly enough money as it should. Buying Motorolla may change that but at what cost?

Image below is a few years old, but is still valid when it comes to showing where google makes their money from.

People may rip in to MS for milking and living of Windows revenue, but Google AdWords is the same thing for Google.

to be fair things have changed quite a bit since your graphic...

Android related revenue topped 1 billion$ in 2010.

Android itself will never generate crazy revenue as Google gives the OS.

The revenue will come from the Android Store and from running google search and adds on Android phones..

PS : Google revenue was up 36% last quarter..
