It's not the pure irony of someone like him talking about market leaders not distrupitng. It's that he wasn't eeeeeAAAAAHHHHHhhHHHHHHing. I wonder if age is wearing on him. ?

However I think that given how tightly search and advertising have been coupled together, there\'s too much money at stake to not compete. The evil-business viewpoint is probably this: The more accurate your search, the more targeted your adverts are likely to be, which increases your profitability. The ROI is indirect, but it\'s certainly there. From the user perspective I think you\’re spot-on; search is good enough from any of the big three.

Which I think is a big assumption. For techies it might seem so at times, but for everyday users, I wonder if the war is over. Do most people don\'t know or give a hoot about who has the better search algos? Any of the big name search providers do a good enough job for your average person. It seems odd to allocate more resources to something that won\'t Roy you nearly as well as developing something new or some new market. Yo loco? This is assuming search is still the game.
