aflunky	Date: October 9, 2006 @ 7:32 PM Wholly fuck! 1.65 Billion?!?! For a Free website?? That trips me the hell out! I'm sure the former YouTube guys are Living pretty comfortable right now....

zedsalt	Date: October 10, 2006 @ 11:07 AM We were just discussing this last night. It really is a whole new world, isn't it? A couple of twenty-somethings selling their company to a couple of thirty-somethings, breaking all records by trading a company that doesn't sell any product or service, aside from advertising, all while subscriber-based websites fold one by one.

Granted, these exact mergers are unlikely to happen, but Google does have some extreme power right now. I could see them working out some type of merger with Amazon within the next 9 years, for sure.
zedsalt	Date: October 11, 2006 @ 11:23 AM I saw an interview yesterday where the founders of Youtube said they'd been discussing a way to pay individuals and small studios for posting their material (like IUMA used to do with music) and that Google promised to at lest discuss the possibility. All of you amateur cinematographers out there, take note!
Twistedtechn...	Date: October 11, 2006 @ 1:09 PM i think it sucks how much computers seem to run peoples lives these days. If you dont want your information tracked and shared with millions upon millions of others, dont subscribe to anything or, just dont get the internet. its got SOME useful stuff, but the rest of it is bullshit. These companies are just out for more money, no matter how badly it fucks the world up. Steven Hawkings might be right, we might just have to find a new planet to live on, becasue with the way things are going, with politics and even the internet, people are getting pissed, and might sart turning to nukes. but hey, thats just one mans opinion.

johnnygnote	Date: October 16, 2006 @ 2:26 PM Another one bites the dust!! Google will just spy on you and tell the feds if you're anti american, or worse a pervert!!!
zedsalt	Date: October 17, 2006 @ 11:56 AM I just hope that the authorities understand that I consider dissent my duty as a citizen of a democracy. I'm not some kind of anti-American pervert, dammit! I'm a PRO-American pervert!
