Thought Leaders in Cloud Computing: Matthew Dornquast, CEO of Code42 (Part 6)
Sramana Mitra: Where do you see services like Shutterfly going? Matthew Dornquast: People who focus on everything will ultimately win over the specialization.

Sramana Mitra: There’s another question on something that I asked you earlier about. Google has an incredible P&L. They have a business model that just throws out cash.
