In a few minutes the business experts on GFY will explain to all of us how acquiring an asset for $2 billion that loses $.5 billion a year is simply a "write off" for Google, or a "loss leader" or some other term they don't fully understand the meaning of. Not to mention the data gleemed from youtube searches is worth far more than the $4 billion they've lost.

In fact, weeks go by when Youtube is not even mentioned during Google board meetings and all the execs laugh how they "almost" forgot about Youtube until someone brought it up because they make so much money, they could care less.
