全球9大顶级科技公司

谷歌

    对于谷歌（Google）而言，2011年是一个巨变之年。四月份，埃里克•施密特将公司大权移交给了联合创始人拉里•佩奇，后者不久之后将谷歌业务调整成为了搜索、社交、移动和广告等六大部门。过去一年，谷歌进行了数次收购，包括：斥资125亿美元收购了摩托罗拉移动（Motorola Mobility），1.25亿美元收购餐馆点评网站Zagat。谷歌还对Gmail、YouTube和谷歌阅读（Google Reader）等面向个人消费者的服务进行了重大更新，谷歌的社交网络产品Google+也最终面世。

    Android仍然保持着霸主地位。谷歌移动部门高级副总裁安迪•鲁宾表示，目前每天有70万部Android设备被激活。

Google

    For Google, 2011 proved a period of major change. Eric Schmidt passed the reins onto co-founder Larry Page in April, who not long after essentially streamlined the company into six major product areas, including search, social, mobile, and ads.

    Google made several acquisitions, including spending $12.5 billion for Motorola Mobility and $125 million for Zagat. Consumer-facing services like Gmail, YouTube, and Google Reader saw significant updates, and the company finally unveiled its social network, Google.

    Android also continued to dominate. According to Andy Rubin, SVP of mobile, 700,000 Android devices are now activated on any given day.
