Voxman - congratulations. You have just stimulated responses from the "I love Google at any cost" group.

For some totally unfathomnable reason, certain guys on this forum can't seem to graps that a public company will try to improve revenue "around the edges" in thousands of ways.

Anybody who has worked for one of these major players, (or even minor ones), knows that in the VP of Finance office, there are young newly minted MBA's working spread sheets and trying to get next years bonus lined up, by devising little "adjustments" that increase the bottom line.

It is simply a fact of American corporate life...not evil, not bad...just a fact.
