Google And Yahoo!

It seems that the deal between these two is just about over. The deal was for Google to sell ads next to Yahoo’s search results. I read somewhere that Yahoo could have made something like $600 million in the deal. The two major problems they’re facing right now are the U.S. Justice Department and online advertisers. I also read that Google and Yahoo together owned more than 80 percent of the online advertising world according to comScore Inc. So you can see why this is a major concern to the U.S. Justice Department and online advertisers. Unless there’s a deal with the U.S. Justice Department this deal will never come together.

Fed Slashes Interest Rate!

The Fed slashed the interested rate used to lending to banks to 1 percent on Wednesday. Just this month alone the interest rate has been cut by a full 1 percent. The interest rate hasn’t been this low in five years. The interest has never been as lower since 1958. So we’re pretty close to seeing history if there’s another interest rate drop. The man in charge is Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. I was reading that he and his colleagues stated that they would “monitor economic and financial developments carefully and will act as needed to promote sustainable economic growth and price stability.” And I believe he will do as he stated. This cut is showing that the markets at close to the bottom and are ready to come up. Look what happen when the rate was reduced, the Dow dropped? But now it’s on its way back up, and could stay up for the next few days. Who knows, the bottom could have been reached and now it’s on the rise. I sure hope so, I done with it being down.

Hockey Mom!

Did you all hear about this? It seems that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is dropping first pucks at a few NHL games this month. At the St. Louis Blues game the goalie Manny Legace left after one period because he got hurt when he slipped on Sarah Palin’s carpet. He said that it hurt really bad, but was just hoping it would go away, the pain. Man, that really sucks for Legace, he’s the St. Louis Blues star goalie. Next time they shouldn’t put the carpet so freaked close to the box. Legace will miss the next game few games, but will be back with no problems. I say, way to go Sarah, you should give Legace a call saying sorry.

Space Trip!

The video gaming millionaire Richard Garriott is on his way back from space. He has been living aboard the International Space Station. He paid millions to take this trip aboard a Russian Space Ship. I was reading that he’s considered the world’s sixth space tourist. I wondering if the price tag to travel to space is going to come down soon, joking. This guy’s that pay millions to go up in space have nothing left to by on earth. Maybe they might want to purchase some new CAT5e wiring for their next trip. Why not go back and waste more of your money. Anyway, as long as people are willing to pay to go to space Russia will be glade to take them. This is how Russia is paying for their part to help maintain the International Space Station. Maybe the United States should consider doing the same.
