Google buys into video conferencing

G-Men riding on Marratech express

JOHN LENNON got into trouble for saying the Beatles were bigger than Jesus so let's be careful and just say that Google is the biggest thing in computing for a very long time.

The Mountain View monster notched up a $1 billion quarter's profit, as we noted earlier, and, as we didn't note earlier, at the same time quietly picked up a Swedish video conferencing firm called Marratech.

A lot of the telco firm efforts cost a fortune and want you to download more craplets so a pure web conferencing solution would be a very nice thing, especially if Google can give it away. Come on, G-men, this is a market that's wide open so go and do your disintermediation thing. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
