But you could argue hardware is a smaller and smaller part of the cost equation for big Internet services. Electricity comes to dominate costs and I suspect electricity prices are going to one of the factors driving inflation if we get any kind of carbon reduction legislation.</p> It is an interesting question whether tech is relatively better or worse place to be amidst inflation.Traditionally, it has been pretty deflationary as driven by Moore’s Law.

The Road to $12 billion.When the bottom fell out of the business in 2001 it was the cul de sac to $6B.I've threatened to shoot anyone who makes such proclomations in future.</p> We did that back in 2000.
