Miraculous Survivor!
Google stock rise again
"
Google Inc. is continuing to expand its advertising capabilities beyond the online world, agreeing to buy a company that automatically connects advertisers with radio stations. The price could top $1.2 billion.
The company, dMarc Broadcasting Inc. of Newport Beach, Calif., creates an automated platform that lets advertisers more easily schedule and deliver ads over radio and keep track of when they air. On the broadcaster side, the dMarc technology automatically schedules and places such advertising, helping stations minimize costs.
Under the deal, announced Tuesday, Google would pay dMarc at least $102 million in cash. If performance targets are met, Google would make additional payments of up to $1.14 billion over three years.
The up-front cash payment will make only a small dent in Google's reserves. Through September, Google had $7.6 billion in cash and marketable securities, though it has since committed to making a $1 billion investment in Time Warner Inc.'s America Online unit.
Google said it plans to integrate the dMarc technology with its highly successful Google AdWords platform, in which third-party Web sites share revenues with Google for carrying the Mountain View., Calif., company's highly profitable search ads.
"Google is committed to exploring new ways to extend targeted, measurable advertising to other forms of media," said Tim Armstrong, Google's vice president for advertising sales.
Already, Google has bought advertising in print publications such as tech magazines and resold chunks of the space to its online advertisers.
Google shares rose 86 cents to close at $467.11 Tuesday on the Nasdaq Stock Market."
Google Battles Baidu in China
"A survey of Chinese Web surfers found U.S.-based search giant Google in an unexpectedly strong position to challenge domestic rival Baidu.com, according to results released Wednesday.
Google came in first in 11 of 13 categories in the survey of 1,200 Internet users, said Keynote Systems Inc., a San Mateo, California-based firm that studies consumer data for online firms.
That was despite Baidu's widespread popularity in its Chinese home market, where it is the preferred search engine for 48 percent of users, according to Chinese government data cited by Keynote.
"It was interesting that Google came out on top," said Jeff Kraatz, Keynote's Asia Pacific vice president.
Google is a latecomer to China, the world's second-largest Internet market after the United States, with more than 111 million people online as of the end of 2005."

A Letter from a Raped Victim 's friend
"
Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 01:53:57 +0000 (GMT)
lately my friend's course mate was rape-murdered.. if u have read the newspaper, i think u know who i am talking about.. the victim lived in sungai petani. sometimes, i really don't understand this world.. how can a human being do such thing to others.. even a dog won't do such thing.. even the animal know that sex cann't be force.. is this mean that the rapist is even worse that a dog???
if they really can't suppress their desire, y don't they just DIY? or they can even go to the prostitutes.. nowadays the prostitutes r everywhere.. so cheap.. y they want to hurt someone just for their desire? did they ever think of the victim's feeling? what if their love ones being raped? i am a man too, but i never thought of harming anyone.. i also have desire, every men have desire of sex.. just imagine, if all men r like the rapists, then what will happen to this world? what will happen to all the women and young girls?? what will happen to you and your love ones? there is no excuse for raping.. ALL THE RAPISTS SHOULD BE SENTENCED TO DEATH!!!
what have the government done to decrease such case? what have they done to prevent it? for me, i don't see any of their action.. they always talking about doing this and that, but at the end, nothing being done…they will always act after the case happened.. they government personnel will always be the first one to stand up and show their face in the newspaper when a case happen.. but why don't they do something before such case happen?? if they just wanna show their face in the newspaper, they better go else where.. all the politicians, always said that they wanna work for the citizens and help out the citizens but if they only help out after things happened, then how??
i am not saying that the government isn't doing their job, but what i mean is they should do it better.. prevention is better than cure.. they can act before the flu come, they can even reduce the denggi.. but why can't they at least reduce the raping case..everyday, there will be a girl being raped.... but did anyone ever thought of ways to reduce it?? do u wanna live in a world that r full with rapists? do u wanna go out with a weapon in hand? do you wanna go out with all the bodyguards at side? do u want family members and love one to worry about safety when u r out alone?? do u wanna worry about love ones when they r out alone??
if u think that u cann't do anything about this then u r wrong..at least u can forwards this message to all friends and let this message spread throught out the nation.. ur can even add ur opinion in this message before sending out.. at least sooner or later, someone out there maybe can help out once they receive this message…this is not a simple message but the start of a war against all the rapists..
