"It's official. This Google press release announces that the Internet search company will buy video web site YouTube for $1.65 billion in stock, an amazing end to a company that launched less than two years ago. According to the press release Youtube will continue to operate in its San Bruno, CA headquarters and will retain its brand identity. The deal is expected to close later this year."

Now we get to see if they will get the pants sued off of them like some industry people expect. Might be a good time to short Google stock ehhh?

In the end though I hope it goes over well as I have enjoyed numerous videos from that site.

yeah... but did you also see Google provides books online? I'm not talking 15 little preview pages... I'm talking a full 300+ page book. They will put it up if the book does not say "not for reproduction" on the copyright page. Though I'm still pretty sure that's all kinds of illegal.

Google will soon take over the world.


Soon, GoogleEarth will be more than just a satellite picture viewer. It'll be a way of life. :.
