Yeah, I know they are more than "just" a search engine, but that's what they are to 90% of their users out there. They must have done something special (as I'm sure we all know) considering all of the other search engines that are struggling.

Stuff like this can just get kinda odd. I remember when Hughes Network Systems (owner of DirecTV and at the time, part of General Motors) was worth MORE than General Motors (even when GM included Hughes!). So, there was speculation that some company could buy all of GM, spin off Hughes and then sell GM for $1 and still make a profit because they bought Hughes for under market value. So a company with only a few million subscribors and a few dozen satellites was worth more than the biggest corporation in the world with millions of their products on the road.

Or when internet companies seemed like a "fad" until AOL bought TimeWarner. I g uess that money is real huh?
