    Unless of course you expect the revenue to change rapidly in the next few years. Which is what people expect to happen to facebook. I would say $16B is undervalued, for such a company (i also believe $50 is really over valued though)

  11. Re:Broken? on Google's Next Challenge, Spam Results · · Score: 1

    I find Blekko.com to be decent.

    Quoted from a techcrunch article

    In addition to providing regular search capabilities like Google’s, Blekko allows you to define what it calls “slashtags” and filter the information you retrieve according to your own criteria. Slashtags are mostly human-curated sets of websites built around a specific topic, such as health, finance, sports, tech, and colleges. So if you are looking for information about swine flu, you can add “/health” to your query and search only the top 70 or so relevant health sites rather than tens of thousands spam sites. Blekko crowdsources the editorial judgment for what should and should not be in a slashtag, as Wikipedia does. One Blekko user created a slashtag for 2100 college websites. So anyone can do a targeted search for all the schools offering courses in molecular biology, for example. Most searches are like this—they can be restricted to a few thousand relevant sites. The results become much more relevant and trustworthy when you can filter out all the garbage.

  18. Re:As apprehended.... on 4chan Has Been DDOSed · · Score: 1

    If Gandhi were alive today, he would DDoS British Salt Manufactures website, so that no one buys salt from them. So you point that DDoS is bad, is still moot.
     
    BTW DDoSers are pretty easy to identify, and the DDoSers know it too. But they also know, they cant arrest all of them (just like the Gandhi's followers knew). And just like Gandhi's followers did not print a list of people that participated in the salt march, Anons did not publish a list of DDoSers. The simply dont have to go on record exposing themselves.

  19. Re:It's a scam. He don't need money! on Assange Has Signed Book Deals Worth $1.5 Million+ · · Score: 1

    I am well aware that the money goes to himself, and not a penny may go to wikileaks or any non-profit org. But my point is he deserves it.
     
    Do you have any reason why the money should no go to him (apart from the point that he is profiting from rape(which I have already countered))

    BTW, its not Micheal Moorer was just of the contributors to his bail bond. And I am sure if he had had this money with him, he would have himself posted it.

  20. Re:Please on Assange Has Signed Book Deals Worth $1.5 Million+ · · Score: 1

    Nope, this book it about what he thinks of wikileaks, and how he believes people (including him) started wikileaks. So its fair to pay him. Ok, to come up with analogy, say you write a book about the US Govt, is it you that should be payed for it or the US Govt?

    Does the swedish govt pay for his British Lawyers and his British Bail Bond too (which was about 200,000 euros, if I recall correctly)?

    Nobody should profit from a rape.

    Oh yeah, its the rape charges that made him famous, and the book is about his relationship with the women and the rape. Oh wait, his book is about how he started with wikileaks and early personal life.

    Too bad none of you claims hold any water (No wonder you posted anon)

    Wow, someone is jealous.

  23. Re:PSTN vs independent VoIP on Skype Slowly Restores Service To Users · · Score: 1

    My point was that most calls are currently packet-switched. They even in fact share the fiber that carry general internet traffic, only with additional QoS enforcements. The last mile is still 48-volt analog system, but (almost) everything else is packet switched. And of course, as you pointed out, this does not apply, if the connection does not leave the exchange (I guess I am allowed to get away with it, as I said most :)).

    Even if your call *does* go VoIP, you may still never leave the domain of the PSTN, where things like QoS can be enforced end-to-end. The Internet's generally a "unreliable, best effort" service. Different operators do different things, and all you can do is plug in somewhere and hope for the best. A telco deploying VoIP as a backhaul internally is a very different beast.

    I guess, your point is one can rely on VOIP, but not on the Internet (at present atleast), which I guess agrees with my point.
