...even as eBay joins the list of Google's agitators, the search giant continues to soar, having recently overtaken Cisco Systems, albeit briefly, as Silicon Valley's most valuable company, with a market cap approaching $160 billion. And its battles don't seem to affect Google's broader reputation: In a recent survey by research firm Universum, 5,500 MBA graduates ranked Google the most attractive of all companies to work for this year...

There's much more to it, though. "Imagine," says Stanford University president John Hennessy, "that the next round of innovations in networking is done in India or China. How many years is it before either Cisco relocates to India or China and grows most of its new jobs there or the next Cisco is actually created there?" That's not so farfetched, says Du Pont CEO Chad Holliday: "If the U.S. doesn't get its act together, Du Pont is going to go to the countries that do, and so are IBM and Intel. We'd much rather be here...
