Nobody really gave much thought as to why Google's growth in paid clicks was stagnating, the common assumption being that the economy was in a funk, and Google had no more room to grow at present. Appears that there are other, and valid, reasons.

An interview on Yahoo!Tech Ticker Eric Savitz of Tech Trader Daily (part of Barron's Online) who has often been criticized of being anti-Apple in his leanings. He denies this and is only claiming that he's hoping to provide greater transparency in Apple news as he feels that the reporting on the company is often skewed by Apple zealots. I agree.
