The use of memory and discs to store multiple copies of data comes from the frontiers of computing. The online advertising space is still growing rapidly, If Google continues its dominance of search, they may surpass Microsoft in revenues, and certainly in profitability, in the next few years. The fact that Microsoft wont be able to count on fat desktop software profits forever only makes the problem worse. Search and Advertising are effectively mirrors of each other. Google is less comprehensive with ad coverage than competing services. Google is being selective with their selective ads because they are only showing the ads when relevancy is strong.
