Eric Schmidt's book is wrong about how Google works
If we take this article at face-value (that Google is as big as it is because of its monopoly in search) a related question is immediately raised: why is Google's search engine a monopoly?If the monopoly is due to superior technology, why are Google able to write a better search engine and maintain this search engine lead?If the monopoly is due to other effects (buying favored search-engine status in Safari, Firefox and pushing Chrome/Android) why don't the browsers have all the power?I guess I agree with the article that Google's power is search-engine derived but there's more to the source of that monopoly than I think the article discusses.
