And pertaining to google I said expensing [employee] options at IPO would have caused google to "look" unprofitable. And I believe that would have hurt the company.

Are you able to read?

Google expensed employee options at IPO. I showed you direct evidence to that effect.

They were profitable.

Further, if Google expensed employee options using Black-Scholes instead of the method they used, they would still be profitable. See Note 1 to the financials.

Google is the most successful company in the history of technology after all.

I thought that was Digital Equipment in the 1980's!?
