Some Degree of Hype, No, and Probably Not. Google has a sizeable war chest, they own the market for search, and people seem terrified that they'll move into THEIR market next, which probably accounts for much of that inflated share price. AoN, most startups could only dream of the kind of success Google has had in search.

2) Don't companies who want to use IM internally buy the actual software along with a server to run internally, to prevent security problems?
Yeah, though these guys don't seem to be going after that market. It's more of a combo of professionals who can't use IM at work, plus folks who don't want to download and use IM because it slows shit down, plus the entire MySpace pre-teen demographic who uses 8 kinds of IM and thinks meebo is just the shit.

I like the idea of multiple IM platforms supported by one piece of software. So much that I use Adium. You say "adi-what?" Well, it works on a Mac only. But surely there's a piece of software for windows that can do AIM, Yahoo, MSN, and whatever other IMs are out there.

And what parent has figured out how to block their kids' downloads of software?

Fair enough. But if the results get that skewed, won't people stop using google? In fact, I've been noticing it has become less and less useful for anything commercial. It's great if I want to google "bold n brazen"--I especially like picking the images search for that one--but if I want to research something like "Sony HDTV XBR40V ratings reviews", all I get is shit. 500 sites that have google-spoofed and will sell me that model TV for 30 cents less than the next guy. They toss in the word review and rating (and the rest of the dictionary) so google picks it up. Or they save a step and cut a check to google. Is Google the new mafia?

That said, can I be friends with your friend?

This has been doing the rounds today, modified to replace Chuck Norris with Roy Keane and "roundhouse kick" with "brutal stamp."

Because I know you don't want to register for the site this is on, here's a few not on the list Francis linked to.

If you ask Roy Keane what time it is, he always says, "Two seconds till." After you ask, "Two seconds till what?" he Brutally stamps you in the face.

Roy Keane uses ribbed condoms inside out, so he gets the pleasure.

Since 1971, the year Roy Keane was born, Brutally stamping related deaths have increased 13,000 percent.

It was once believed that Roy Keane actually lost a fight to a pirate, but that is a lie, created by Roy Keane himself to lure more pirates to him.

Roy Keane once lined up to kick the winning field goal of a gaelic football game. When the football went flat, he persuaded the referees to let him kick the field goal with a 3 month old child. Roy kicked the baby 60 yards through the uprights and then proceeded to bang every girl in the stadium.

When Roy Keane's wife burned the turkey one Christmas, Roy said, "Don't worry about it darlin'," and went into his backyard. He came back five minutes later with a live turkey, ate it whole, and when he threw it up a few seconds later it was fully cooked and came with cranberry sauce. When his wife asked him how he had done it, he gave her a brutal stamping to the face and said, "Never question Roy Keane."

Roy Keane once brutally stamped on someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

Roy Keane recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.

Roy Keane took my virginity, and he will sure as hell take yours. If you're thinking to yourself, "That's impossible, I already lost my virginity." then you are dead wrong.

Aliens do exist. They're just waiting for Roy Keane to die before they attack.

I represent a couple of online retailers. All of them pay google for placement. All of them get very good at figuring out what words or combination of words will get them the most bang for their buck. I've been told "Las Vegas Hotel" was never worth the money.

And Eli is not a strong enough quarterback yet to bring them back consistently if they get down (though he had some good games in the early-mid part of the season).

The only thing that makes me feel slightly less neurotic is the fact that an even more angst-ridden Giants fan will be watching the game with me on Sunday. We couldn't fly to the playoff game to watch it live because the only time we saw them live this year, they were spanked by San Diego. We must watch the game somewhere that we have a better viewing record, I have been told.
They may be playing at home, but I'm not feeling good about the outcome. I don't think their injury-depleted defense is up to the task and why (oh, why, bilmore, why?) did Umenyiora have to open his big mouth. Sure he and Strahan are dominant players at their position, but why bait Carolina?

With good blocking and patience (for example that first TD against the Raiders on New Year's Eve?) Tiki can break for the end zone on any play. Plaxico and Amani are always a threat, but Eli hasn't proven that he can deliver the ball with accuracy on a consistent basis. I'm hoping he has a good day (like the KC game).

For the record, I want Jacksonville to beat the Pats. I can't stand the Patriots.

I fucking hate when my analysis is good (I don't think Washington's offense can put together a drive against TB's defense), and you still lose the damn pick.

For those of you who didn't see the early game today, Washington had one defensive TD, and one drive that started from the TB 6 yard line after an interception. Those 14 points were enough, as TB won, 17-10 (because a chump rookie receiver dropped an open TD pass in the end zone for TB with 2 minutes left). Sorry to have given a bad 1-star pick -- at least the 4-star Pats pick was right on the money.

Again, Giants and Bengals tomorrow.

Hmm. I ignored your 1 star pick and picked Washington in my playoff pool. My analysis, that Washington has been rolling (6 straight wins anyone?) and that a veteren QB is typically better than a newber in the playoffs seems somewhat sound now too.

Of course, none of it really matters to me if the Giants lose tomorrow.

She's no "extraordinaire" if she lets him take a break and father a child while doing so. Sounds more like a sugar-momma or something--no steel trap to keep him there.

Sweetie, it's the hunters who use the steel traps on cougars, not vice-versa. Cougars lack opposable thumbs.

Cross-Post From Parents Board
 
Post #2908

From Viet Mom:

On a COMPLETELY unrelated note -- Viet Babe's sitter (who used to be a teacher at her Kindercare and I used her along with many other families when I had to work late) has me in her email address book and sometimes sends group emails out saying "Merry Christmas" or chain letters/jokes. Last night, she accidentally sent me AND HER ENTIRE EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK an email that attached pornographic pictures of her "in the act" and a link to an "adult profile" on a graphic porn website with more of the same. I opened the email thinking it was the usual chain letter/joke and WHOOSH! There was VietBabe's sitter's face, performing oral sex on someone (only his private parts were in view). The rest of the shots were....I can't even describe them they were so graphic (one involved a cob of corn) but let's just say the up close shots of anal sex were not the most disturbing. I have never discussed anything remotely sexual with this person, or even personal for that matter, so I was shocked and annoyed. Today I got an email, which had a lot of other recipients, INCLUDING HER MOTHER, FATHER AND AUNT, apologizing for the mishap. Now I'm not angry - just glad I'm not her! The pics were really whacko and I really think the child care industry attracts flakes. Between this, and my bad nanny experiences, any future Vietbabes would go straight to daycare (but maybe not Kindercare anymore!).

(PS - no she is not that cute; no I won't send the email or link!!!)
