YouTube sold for $2,200,000,000!
October 10, 2006 | 06:47 AM
Google acquired YouTube today for $2.2 billion which will see Google take a 70% share of online video. Not bad for a company which is just 18 months from conception and has yet to turn a profit.
With MySpace being purchased last year by Rupert Murdoch for around $800 million and now being valued between $12 and $15 billion it really looks like ‘Tech Boom 2.0’ has just rolled around.
I’m guessing that the next big acquisition to take place will be Digg, of course the price won’t be anywhere as high but it will still make Kevin Rose the founder a few hundred million.
What really is Web 2.0?
August 3, 2006 | 08:20 AM
You may have noticed the hype that is Web 2.0 and wonder what distinguishes a Web 2.0 company from the rest. Well first off they should have a shinny reflecting logo, add to that some Ajax (even if it doesn't suit the situation) and there you go ... a web 2.0 company.
According to some people MySpace is a web 2.0 company ... however I'd only agree if they wacked on a logo like below.
PC vs. Mac ads - spoof
August 3, 2006 | 08:19 AM
A few weeks back Apple released a series of ads pitching why Mac's are better than PC's, well the PC camp has hit back with some seriously funny spoofs. Below is just one such ad, you can catch the rest of them on YouTube.
Lorem ipsum
July 29, 2006 | 07:33 AM
You've seen it used on many design mock-ups, that strange text that goes something like this "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit....". Well it's simply just dummy text used in the printing and typesetting industry, more interestingly dates back to the 1500s when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
So now comes the question as to why we use it considering that we could just enter any old garbage such as "jio jhjigdfsh ajdfsi blah blah blah...content goes here" (we've all seen that before). Well, generally a reader will be distracted by readable content when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a normal distribution of letters, making it look like readable English without the distraction.
