Google def. understands the mobile threat but its defense is more about Android than Motorola. Android gives them the horse in the mobile search race. Facebook has a terrible monetization strategy. Their best bet is to become the login system for the universe but still dont know how to monetize that. I see a search engine coming from them soon.

Now, if you were to tell me they'd peak in 5 years, I'd take that bet. Google is in a similar boat as MSFT as they only have one real cash cow. However, that cow is pretty fat, and can buy a lot of other companies. Google's play is mobile, and it's pretty evident especially with the recent Motorola deal. Apple really is in the catbird seat. They have 3 really good products, a buying cycle that can't be rivaled, and the Ford Model T mentality (you get this or nothing. Add to that their fanatical owners, and that's the reason they are the biggest company in the world. Facebook will win with their partnerships, but they will have to diversify. To me they are the weakest, and I see some sort of AOL/Time Warner merger in the future. 5 years is too short. Now, if you were to tell me they’d peak in 5 years, I’d take that bet.
