Google died? A strange thing to say about a company with a market capitalisation of 722 billion USD.
By measure of "cool kid technological fore-runner" IBM has been dead since the early 80s.
Or perhaps more hilariously:
reminder that google wanted to sell to excite.com for $750,000, excite.com said no.
All i wanted to say is that dying is not related to market value.
Die as in bankrupt or not profitable is a big stretch for its use as a metaphor. Im not sure how to put this without sounding patronizing and/or stupid and/or explaining to retards but:
There are more things in life besides money or economical viability.
One could argue that afk it is way more easy to use it metaphorically to stereotype those that have money than those who do not.
They're comparable in profit to Oracle, Alibaba and Tencent.
GM and Micron have ridiculously low PE ratios. That also says nothing about whether their businesses are at risk of dying.
