 | | Sabeer Bhatia, billionaire co-founder of Hotmail, thinks Google is smarter, quicker and hungrier than Microsoft, the company that in 1997 paid him and his partner Jack Smith $US400 million for the email invention that today has 50 million users worldwide. |
 | | But Mr Bhatia, the boy from Bangalore, is now an icon of Indian success in Silicon Valley where, in 1988, as an 18-year-old student, he arrived with $250 in his pocket to take up a scholarship at the California Institute of Technology. |
 | | In 1996 he and Apple Computer engineer Jack Smith launched Hotmail, the first web-based email service, selling it to Microsoft a year later. |
