Microsoft Bids On Yahoo 44.6 billion February 1, 2008
Posted by nickpruett in : Microsoft, Internet , add a comment
Microsoft placed a bid through a letter to the board of 44.6 billion dollars, which is 62% more than Yahoos! closing share price on Thursday. Yahoo! has been receiving hard competition from its competitors, mainly Google, which is a common enemy of Microsoft as well. In order to actually revive the company Yahoo! has posted that they would have to actually spend an addition $300 million this year in order to get it back in standard working order.
In this turn of events in which Microsoft wants to purchase Yahoo! for 44.6 billion, Yahoo has responded with the claim that they are going about it just like any other offer, and will select the plan that offers the best outcome for its long-time share holders. However, what is even more interesting then whether or not Yahoo will take the offer, is what new direction will Yahoo! be heading in with Microsoft controlling it, and is Google worried?
Britain To Battle ‘Cyber-bullying’ September 21, 2007

Why not just get rid of the ‘Cyber-Wimps’ ? A recent study showed that 34% of 12-15 yr olds have been hassled via high tech means. This means harassment through text messages, emails, or posting on myspace etc. This is ridiculous.
If someone was to post a mean note of me on the internet whenever I was 12, It would’ve been obvious how retarded the bully is, and in return, I would continue to beat him with the cell phone or keyboard he posted it with. Britain’s Campaign against the Cyber-Bullying is laughable as well. In their push to end Cyber-Bullying they are instructing the kids not to respond to malicious text or emails, saving the emails as evidence, and not handing out personal data like passwords and phone numbers.
Yeh I thought this was a given, if some kids gets bored with mashing your face in your lunch, and asks for your myspace password, why would you give it to him? If the kid is stupid enough to do that, he deserves it. Not responding to text or emails will not work either, it is basically the “turn the cheek” method most fathers tell their bullied son to do, exclaiming that “he just wants attention” yeh .. doesn’t work.
If you want to get rid of cyber-bullying, get the parents to whip the will out of their kids to bully others, or tell the kids that actually let a “cyber-bully” have any control over them to buck up.

Digg Lauches New Features (Useless) September 20, 2007

Digg has “Dugg” (tee hee) deeper into the social networking scheme, and amped up the user experience with new features, which actually pisses me off. I had a digg that was doing quite well whenever the website went down for a few hours, and when it returned my article was no where to be seen.
Aside from the loss of traffic, I logged onto the site and visited my profile and was greeted with a sleek user interface, that was rather enjoyable. The re-done user area allows for a profile that really sets you apart, lets others know the person behind the “Digger” (even the ugly ones.) Some of the new profile options available are the shout box, and a system that suggest Digg friends to you based on what stories you often digg, and where you are seen most on the site.
Why Digg? I go to Digg to see news (and also reddit but don’t tell them that.) I don’t go to digg hoping that my BFF Jill is on, or to see what new pictures the slut up the street posted, that is what myspace is for. Whenever people go to news related sites, they typically would like to see news instead of having to deny creepy friend request and random messages. All I am saying is Digg, I like you, but I don’t want to have “Digg Angles” starting in pictures to shave off 40 pounds.
