How much more can a drowning man drown? And thus begins the collapse of a former world business giant...

I would not say that. You'll see google growth start to slow next year and yahoo and msn are in better positions elsewhere. Google search rules right now but yahoo and msn will have an edge in marketing. Do some research.
