&quot;Does anyone know what this argument is?&quot;<p>He makes it right in the article:<p>&quot;It is worth $500 billion&quot; - which is a pretty small group of companies (two)<p>&quot;Six Google products have more than one billion users&quot; - again a pretty significant achievement. Facebook has 1 or 2. Apple has none - the iPhone has sold  about 700M units across all models apparently.<p>&quot;I use Google to research stories, I email my editors through Gmail, and I use Google Maps to go to meetings.&quot; - people in first world countries probably use a google product every day. Few companies have that level of global reach and touch so many people&#x27;s everyday lives.
