- How does Google stop turning evil? Pick a partner!
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Google's extraordinary rise has continued with the company's shares rocketing past $500, just two year after it floated at $85. So how does a company that size stop turning evil? The formula: pick partners so they grow rich along with Google.

- Cuban Talks Trash to YouTube
  Posted by Jeff from Business Week
  After all, with all the noise he has made on his blog, Cuban is already facing a big "I told you so" from Google if YouTube turns out to be wildly successful. The more invested he becomes in seeing YouTube lose a copyright battle, the more vulnerable to bad publicity Cuban becomes if YouTube wins. The headline is almost too obvious: "Cuban, Who Is

- NewsCloud Publishes Reporting on YouTube's Comedy Central Takedowns
  Posted by Jeff from Idealog.US
  Tonight, NewsCloud publicly released its reporting engine on YouTube's ongoing takedowns of Comedy Central material with its Summary Reports and Video Search. Our video search can only be used to find clips by keyword to determine whether the videos are still available or not. While Viacom has released public statements saying that they were targeting YouTube with requests to take down whole episodes, I found the takedowns to be fairly indiscriminate. For example, 63% of Daily Show clips (and 58% of all shows) taken down were less than 5 minutes in length. We also wanted to get a sense of the number of page views just our subset of video clips had generated for YouTube over time - this also represents potential lost revenue for Viacom. Just the subset of broken clips with view count information left in the Google cache represents 14,867,004 viewings. While the live videos at YouTube represent 23,322,598 viewings. Or, 38,189,602 combined.

- Idealog: YouTube Comedy Central DMCA Notices Continue
  Posted by Jeff from Idealog.US
  I just received a takedown notice for another Daily Show video in my YouTube account: CNN iReport. Spot checking yesterday's list of 400 working clips shows a majority have now been taken down. I'm guessing reports of a settlement with Viacom were premature. YouTube is fast becoming the political ad hosting network.

This seems fairly limited and lame to me. Facebook is still way ahead.

Google's Shareholders Vote to Continue Censorship in China

yeah…I agree the we may seem a bit much. But, then, I don’t see too many people up in arms over it either…therefore, "we" isn’t too far off.

“So much attention is paid to the aggressive sins, such as violence and cruelty and greed with all their tragic effects, that too little attention is paid to the passive sins, such as apathy and laziness, which in the long run can have a more devastating effect.

I’d be careful about using "we", it implies a collective thumbs up, which I doubt Google’s execs would respect unless you own stock with them. While China’s government is questionable, so is this one. Especially since "we" owe them billions. They are paying for Pax Americana in Iraq and te Afghanistanian theatre after all.

They’re , eventually, going to steal the technology and make their own google. We screw ourselves and their people by doing business with their government.
