IIRC, YouTube has been very busy inking don't-sue-me agreements with the major entertainment companies that will give it and now GooTube(tm) ammo when and if lawyers try to go after it - now they can say, "heck, even Universal signed on to the money train, after threatening to sue us!"
As to the 'monetizing' thing (is that like emmantizing the eschatron?) the volume of people using Google's services, even with adwords all over the place, is testimony enough that Google's doing it right.
Certainly he needs bodyguards, and rightly so. The market for kidnapping billionaires' relatives for ransom is quite lucrative. Up in Canada one of our billionaires, Jim Pattison, paid an undisclosed ransom to kidnappers after his daughter was kidnapped. She was returned unharmed, but no doubt Pattison's security detail was upgraded. Didn't the family that owns the Heineken brewery in Holland suffer the same? The board of directors of any large company have a responsibility to the shareholders to keep themselves, and the Chairman and CEO, out of trouble.
... the solutions given thusfar (here - I haven't looked elsewhere - require that the prisoners have some way of communicating and can elect a leader or a counter. How would they do that if they're in soundproofed cells and only one of them is able to leave at a time?
Umm... the article said that 80% of M$ employees WHO OWN MP3 PLAYERS use iPods.
""About 80 percent of Microsoft employees who have a portable music player have an iPod," said one source, a high-level manager who asked to remain anonymous. "It's pretty staggering.""
then Kahney goes on to contradict himself:
"The source estimated 80 percent of Microsoft employees have a music player -- that translates to 16,000 iPod users among the 25,000 who work at or near Microsoft's corporate campus."
It doesn't translate to that - it translates to 80% of 16,000 which would be 12,000. Still a significant number.

sorry, my mental calculator broke - 80% of 16,000 is 12,800.

Heh... of course that's what I'm saying publicly... other plans might already have been made to 'leave the door open for a sequel', so to speak...
Serves me right for naming my son "Ethan Connor"
Google = SkyNet.
So when exactly does the Google A.I. go online? Just curious so I can start caching weapons in the desert.
Does the article mention how many of those >100,000 affected the Mac OS platform?
