Google's Search for Profits Yields $1 Billion

The Google train keeps a-rolling, pulling in more money, more press and more search market share.

All this momentum pushed revenues to $3.6 billion for the latest quarter with profits of over a billion dollars (who says software doesn't have healthy margins?).

The real question is: What will Google build (or buy) with its increasingly large cash reserves?
