google earnings

Google's earning for the fourth quarter has increase again. This time they earned a whopping USD1.03 billion. Even since their acquisition of Youtube the popular video streaming website, it boosted their reputation as a multi billion cooperation. Explains why they have so much money to spare in acquiring Youtube. It seriously pose a threat to their biggest rivals, Yahoo because their earnings has dropped more than 60% over a year ago. It's not surprising that Google founders are one of the richest men in the world right now and their riches will continue to grow with the explosion of internet in this digital age.

internet tv?

This is so true. Because I believe TV will be revolutionized by the internet in long time to come. Ever since with the technology of peer to peer programs like Bittorrent and giant video streaming sites like youtube, the way we view television is not the same as before. More TV series are widely available on the internet after several hours it was aired, making it faster and reachable in a lighting speed. Emerging fast internet services also has a role to play. Will it encourage piracy? Maybe yes maybe no. Because when video content is easily available in the internet, who would want to buy pirated vcds from Uncle Ho?

alternative to fossil fuel?

Hah! This is interesting. Given our current dependence on fossil fuels, I think Mitsubishi is doing the right thing. Because fossil energy will not last forever and some how we need to deal with it in the future. So I felt Mitsubishi is heading to the right direction. Although the research is still remains in the initial stage, I think it's quite normal. Newer technology normally costs more to fund it's current research and to maintain it's development. Given some time, I am sure the cost will definitely go down and there will be lesser breakdown too.
