...but the whole MS/Ballmer/Google thing is increasingly making me think of a certain German's obsession with a Soviet city on the Volga...
If you are thinking of the same man as I am then he was Austrian.
So this means people will begin avoiding Yahoo with the same impunity they avoid MSN?
Theoretically Microsoft could buy up anything good about the internet so we can all shut our computers down and settle in w/a trip to the library and a good book.
I disagree, at some point, anti-trust laws will start kicking in, so there has to remain a microsoft-free portion of the internet. It may be a puppet to MS, but lets just hope that that portion also hates MS with the same impunity as a common slashdotter.
Giving out dividends when a company is making profits is how the entire share based economy system is supposed to work. Especially when you have cash in reserve that you dont know what to do with.
And god knows MS has got cash in reserve.
Overall this is great because this gets money out again to flow crazy like sperms. Each of the stock-holders is going to decide on his own what to do with the money. I think thats how capitalism is supposed to work in a healthy state.
Okkey I am confused here (maybe because I am from india and dont know any more than using mouse to click websites:) )
The question is.. who pays for these website clickers? The only people benefitting from these fraud clicks on google ads is google itself. (am I missing something here?)
So then why is google concerned about that? oh I forgot.... must be fair buisness and all...:)
That isn't evil, any more than its evil for a polar bear to eat a penguin. But the penguins don't like it.
Okkey I am almost sure that polar bears are only there near north pole. And penguines are definately only existing near south pole. Its going to be a long commute for the bears;)

Mozilla supports tabbed-browsing (your post sounds like you dont know that).
Try using mozilla (firefox is even better) with ctrl+t.
