emily: what about google?ric schmidt, chairman of google, recently said that amazon is their biggest rival in search. bill: to qualify, he made the comments during an eu antitrust meeting. there was an incentive to highlight the competition, obviously. but i think there is some truth to it in this case. the nature of search is changing. if you were to search for an item to buy from an e-commerce search on amazon, you know where the reviews are, you know the category it is in, you know how to select prime or not. you do not get those features. now, google is doing something interesting. they are taking on this endeavor called google shopping express, which i cannot make the math work. i am waiting for someone in the press to follow around one of these vehicles and add up how many stops. i don't see how it can work. emily: and they are also trying to do delivery drones as well. bill: don't get me started on drones. i think the drones and the self-driving cars are a distraction to keep the media from talking abou
