Google Inc. has another fantastic quarter, justifying the investor confidence that lifted its stock price by more than $100 during past month.  Google has been able to quickly establish itself as a leader in Silicon Valley. Overcoming a traditionally slow season for Web surfing, Google said Thursday that it earned $1.07 billion, or $3.38 per share, for the three months ended in September. That was a 46 percent improvement from net income of $733.4 million, or $2.36 per share, at the same time last year.
