But as we're fond of pointing out, Google is essentially a maker of very
capital-intensive, full-custom, warehouse-scale computers—a "hardware
company," if you will. It monetizes those datacenters by keeping as many
users as possible connected to them, and by serving ads to those users. To
make this strategy work, it has to hire lots of software people, who can
write the Internet-scale apps (search, mainly) that keep users connected and
viewing ads. Since the price of Google ads is set largely independently of
Google's cost of delivery, every dollar of efficiency that Google can wring
out of one of these large computers is a dollar that goes to the bottom line.
