Makes money, implies profit and not revenue


We have revenue breakdown. Where is the profit breakdown?


Ha, probably nobody at Google even knows the exact cost of each of those business lines.


Yep - It's nearly impossible to assign profit to those things - we have X revenue from Android licenses, what's the cost of an android license? Is it all the R&D that goes to UI or hardware research? What's the cost of a Youtube Ad?
