re: Google: Hypometer in the RedAnd you sir, clearly have no idea about the internet, competition, asian engineers, low barriers to entry and the rise of Asia in general.
Well, keep dreaming. But remember that there was a time when we laughed about japanese cars and japanese consumer electronics.
You mean "There will be lots of competition for Google from Asia (s.Korea/China) IN ASIA", right? You can't be serious comparing Google technology to others.
re: Google: Hypometer in the RedFood for legal thought:
Certain US based directors of certain IP-stealing foreign companies ought to look out for their personal wallets when the lawyers of certain US IP interests get wise. It's not as if the US directors can claim to be ignorant of the theft.
Under SO, that makes them personally liable, methinks. At least that is my theory.
Oh, and I would think statute of limitations governs, so it might go to behavior as old as seven years ago.
re: Google: Hypometer in the RedI tend to think it is undervalued, esp. in relation to the crap/hype that cisco slings.
Cisco hasn't come through on any of their initiatives - optical- nope, voip- eh, Broadband access - crap, wireless - not happenning, and now consumer... What they have is brand equity which is quickly diminishing as people find out the real story.
I'm out of telecom (thank god) but come here to entertain myself on rare occassion.
WRT, google. I spend $35k a MONTH with my little 3 person company. My expenditures yield 4x in sales. I figure 10,000's of small businesses have yet to tap into Google to further propell its revenues.
