Mark Cuban Declares War on GooTube

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the settle-this-with-jello-wrestling dept.

PreacherTom writes "Mark Cuban — the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, tech entrepreneur, and self-proclaimed 'blog maverick' — has always been outspoken in his ridicule of Google and YouTube. Now, it appears he's willing to put his money where his mouth is. Cuban is so convinced that GooTube will be a failure that he is in the process of acquiring the news agency owned by Robert Tur, currently involved in serious litigation with Google over copyright violations. With billions on both sides, this could be a real clash of the titans."

    A tube of goo might be handy indeed when two titans 'clash', make sure you use water (not oil) based though or it might catch fire.

    Geeks (Google) vs. Jocks (Mark Cuban AKA Penishead). Ever since the days of the dotbombs, I've noticed that in the end every battle comes down to loud, boistrous, idiotic guys (Ballmer, Cuban, just about any for profit business man with an arrogance problem) vs the quiet, thinking man. I mean look... Scifi Channel used to be for geeks, now the suits (typically ex-jocks) have bastardized it.
