Google (GOOG) reported solid earnings, record Android numbers and 25 percent year-over-year growth on Thursday but failed to satisfy analysts and investors, who noted that growth was slower than previous quarters and that its average "cost per click" (CPC) price had gone down for the first time in two years. Though the stock initially rose on the increased revenues, later analysis of the results triggered a sharp fall-off that saw the company lose nine percent in after-hours trading.
