Google Selling PCs is a Bad Idea

The idea that Google would start selling PCs is a non-starter for this analyst. The margins on PCs are too low (ask HP). The business is constantly changing (ask Dell). And even the once-great manufacturing company, IBM, sold off its PC division to Levovo last year.

Google software on Google hardware is not synergy. It is less than the sum of the parts.

Could I be wrong? Of course, as I am not privy to GOOG insider strategy secrets. But is it happens, Ill be one of the first ones yelling "short".

    Here's the URL in two lines- it didn't wrap right (remember to combine them back into one line).
