Google contemplates buying You Tube

In brief: It's delicate, this processing power

THE NORMALLY reliable Wall Street Journal said Google might buy popular vid-site You Tube for $1.6 billion.

We floated this rumour earlier today, here.

The newspaper claimed the talks are at a delicate stage and the deal might fall through.

The original story came from the Tech Crunch bog, and Google is refusing to comment on speculation and rumours.

Has Google got an Intel rep working for it now? That's INTC's phrase. Stock prices of Google (tick: GOOG) flew up eight bucks on the news. But one share of GOOG is still way less than an ounce (oz) of gold. Never mind a brick. µ

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.
