A few I'd like to take issue with:
Google doesn't make very much money, they only have an estimated 60 million in revenue, prior to paying all their expenses, I would guess that they net less than 10 million.
They are not a government service, they certainly could pull the plug on their service tomorrow if they felt that it would not benefit them to continue.
The big SPONSERED LINK is not bold enough for you?
Finally, if you don't like it you don't have to use it, and better yet make your own free, quick, comprehensive, and ad free search engine, if you would like to do better.
Only successful companies can continue to advertise. You didn't see many.com ads during the superbowl, did you? Amount spent advertising can be a user relevant piece of information. Except for ads paid for with VC funds, which ended pretty quickly anyway. A long period of advertising signals that a company is a mature business, with profits and should be around for some time.
There are at least two, the SiS 645 is fairly new, and not troubled by legal/licensing issues. The VIA P4X266 which I believe there are only a few (lower end) mobo companies making, because of the brewhaha Intel and Via are having over P4 bus licensing issues. Cheapo boards with each chipset are starting at about 70 before shipping on pricewatch.
The only advantage that I can think of is that gifts to the organization would be tax deductable. There might be some additional benefits, but that would be the most important one.

What everyone seems to be missing is that this is supposed to cannablize the OS monopoly. It is intended to replace it as the new platform for application development.
The whole intention seems to be focusing on a world in which users don't use PCs with branded operating systems, think Xbox, I think it uses a modified version Win 2k, but unless you develop for it that really doesn't matter.
I think the monopoly part comes in the server and its delivery of a user experience rather than the client.
You make a good point, but leasing space still entitles the creator to their creation. Imagine Adobe hosting everything related to photoshop on a cluster of their computers, in which you share the processing resources on this larger computer with the other tenants. You would still own your creation even though you stored it on Adobe's computer.
Farming is not a job, its a business, they provide a service that is valuable, because someone else will exchange money for their services. Just like any other company they would be responsible for their own taxes, unless someone starts Character Farming, Inc., and hires them to create items, chararters, and other game goods for sale.
As far as I can tell the original Radeon is now called the 7000. It runs about $50 pre shipping on pricewatch. However it only uses 64 bit DDR ram. All the bench marks show it has similar performance to the Radeon with 128 bit SDR ram, which I can't remember the designation for.
Excelent, but the first promissary notes were issued by the goldsmiths, I believe. These smiths would let people store their gold for safe keeping, and issue a note or several that would allow the bearer to redeem the gold, soon enough a creative one realized that he didn't have to keep all the gold he owed other people on hand. He could make loans to people without keeping all the gold in stock, using gold collected in the future to repay earlier depositors.
This slowly evolved into the metal backed currencies that allowed the bearer to claim a set amount of gold from the issuing government. This was useful because other countries did not accept foreign currencies, there were no foreign exchange markets.
Because this led to great stockpiles of precious metals that were not useful for production. Societies gradually shifted over to non-asset backed, or fiat money. This is the foundation of our modern banking system, and is how money is created.
Banks accept deposits, and make loans, however, when a loan is created, they do not usually give the borrower a suitcase full of cash, rather their account is credited with the money. Of course now the bank has a much larger deposit and can repeat the process with many more loans. The only limit on this is the reserve requirement, set by the Federal Reserve, I think it is currently at 10%. This allows banks to create 10 times as much money as their original deposits. That is how wealth is created, and why runs on even healthy banks can cause them to fail.
I would argue that since the Celeron kept similar performance per Mhz as the Pentium III/Athlon/Duron, it would have the opposite effect: the inflation would be just that, inflation of performance. A similarly clocked Celeron keeps close perfomance with a Duron. While the P4 lowered the performance per Mhz which goes against most of the prior new architectures of CPUs, which usually increased quite significantly the performance per cycle.
It seems that Intel made a chip thats main virtue was reaching extremly high clock cycles with less regard to total performance. I think AMD created their model numbers to give a quick reference to consumers who would never check a benchmark site as to the performance of their CPUs.
I've been using CD-DA X-tractor, its GPL, and it seems to handle error correcion better than the other programs I had been using (my cd-rom sucks at ripping). It supports Ogg, including the new RC 3 encoder. No compliants yet.
From my experience (buying only) it seems that ebay is a great place to sell consumer or hobby level computer equipment but anything that smacks of big iron (rackmountable, SUN, IBM, SAN, etc) has to be a super good deal, since has a retail price that is so much higher than ebayers would ever pay. So that even a killer deal like yours, is much too much for their budget. If you were selling a Netgear 8 port switch you could probably get most of retail value out of it. If you really want to get rid of it, a low price with reserve price near your starting price would probably do the trick.
Many large retailers are public companies, and as such they have to release financial information about their business. In this information is their revenue, their Cost of Goods Sold, sometimes abreviated as COGS, which is their cost, Selling General & Administrative, abriviated as SG&A which will usually contain most of their costs in the markup this usually leaves operating profit, which they subtract their interest and other expenses from leaving net profit. So while this does not show the markup of the item you are buying, but it does give an average. Some will also break their revenue and costs out by there segments, search for segment in the 10-Q. All of these are available here.
Who resells these? I have been wanting to put together a HTPC for some time now, but I can't find any resellers of these. Via's sales page only listed wholesalers, and there don't seem to be any of the newer processors on Pricewatch. Thanks
On the movie theater popcorn, how hard is it to sneak what ever you want into the movies. Lets face it the ticket takers generally aren't future secret service material. They sell the snacks at inflated prices because you don't want to look cheep when you bring your date.
The intense competion, but terrain imposed limits on a rapid takeover are what Paul Kennedy thought was the reason behind the West's leadership of the world for much of the last millennium. He outlined this idea in his "The Rise and Fall of Great Powers." It was written in the mid 80s when everyone was sure that the Japanese would buy up everyone else, but ignoring that, the thesis is a pretty good one.
