Google's compute power is other-worldly

Actually it's not. I could cite hundreds of examples, but here's one: when I wrote a blog post about getting a huge traffic boost for my startup following on some Mark Cuban in PR Newswire, I titled my post "take the elevator, not the stairs", and Google AdSense served ads for Thyssen elevators. That's how smart it is.

Sorry, but you're wrong.

The fact that they don't always have it doing the smart thing you'd want them to do in no way lessens the fact that Google has a lot of compute power that they are throwing at a lot of problems.
