It will if US companies skip the middleman (Infosys) and just use IPsoft themselves.

It was in the discussion about how much a person can carry. Do you want to walk home a quarter mile carrying 15 bags of groceries?

I'd say that both sites fit that description. LinkedIn has turned into the "Facebook for professionals". It seems like most people's goal on LinkedIn is to connect with as many people as they can to get their "network" as large as they can. I have gotten LinkedIn requests from people that I met at a conference several years ago, and talked to for 5 minutes.

LinkedIn used to be about creating a network of trusted colleagues, that you want to keep in touch with, so that you could get trusted introductions to people you didn't know. If I trust person A, and person A trusts person B, B trusts C; therefore if person C is looking for a job opportunity, then they have a good chance of being a reasonably good candidate. That whole concept seems to have gotten lost in the last few years, and now it is all about having as many connections as you can.

What we need is more televisions that have software built into them that can access all of the video networks directly. There are already DVD/Blu-Ray players that can play from Netflix/Amazon/Hulu/Youtube, etc.

What if the drive contains the evidence that they know you have, but it also contains other evidence that they do NOT know you have, which one would have precedence? If decrypting the drive will give them access to other evidence that would incriminate you in another crime.

I doubt that they will be hosting the source code for their cracking tools or internal forums for their secret stuff. It is probably going to be just a blog of sorts that they can use as their official channel for news about their activity. Who cares of the govt takes the drives if it's all public info anyway? And do you really think they are going to host it in the U.S.A.?

This is not about Google not paying taxes on the food they provide. This is about Google giving free lunch to their employees, instead of the employees having to pay for their lunch. They are basically saying that if Google employees eat for free every day, they are getting a "bonus", in that they are not having to pay their own money for food. The govt thinks that the employees should have to pay tax on the free lunch, not Google.

You make it sound as if buying another company is as easy as buying a gallon of milk. Buying another company requires interest on both sides, as well as a lot of paperwork an politics to get it approved.
Also, Google is not in the business of making content. They don't actually produce any content on any of their sites. They simply index what other people have created, and make it available.

According to Yahoo finance, Google has 48 billion in cash.

Universal was bought by Comcast, which has a market cap of 108 billion. Nice try.

This is probably because they don't want anything to be ungoogleable. If something exists, but cannot be found in Google, then Google is not doing their job of making that thing searchable.

I've upgraded to bmail.

I'm pretty sure that China's government doesn't care about the amount of spam being generated from their networks because the target of the spam is not their citizens, but rather people in other countries.

Not true. Both Chrome and Firefox do not support OSX Leopard (10.5) anymore, and I'm sure there are a lot of other software that do the same. When Apple stops supporting an OS, software makers also stop supporting it, so you lose out on getting the latest software updates.

I find it funny that they allow golf clubs, but a maximum of 2.

That would be true if the workers were being paid to work remotely, while still living in their lower-income country. If those workers are using the visas to come to the USA, then the lower wages are nowhere near enough to survive on. What you end up seeing is 8-10 people renting a house together because it is all they can afford.

You can sync the same database to as many devices as you want using Dropbox. If you're too paranoid to use Dropbox, you can copy the master database manually between devices.
