Murdoch's PIE BOY jailed for six weeks

You're paying for the jail

Apple eyeing Hulu acquisition, insiders say

Ballmer's breaking point: Is Windows 8 already too late?

I was thinking the same

I've been really impressed by 7 so far, no idea why MS would want to shove out a new one already. Then again, I'm a home consumer, not aome IT nerd.

Netflix splits DVD, streaming offers in 60% price hike

Here's an idea:

Get the streaming only plan, Redbox for actual DVDs ;)

Is Facebook worth more than Google?

Is Facebook worth more than Google?

Nope

Spotify trumpets move to US (and little else)

Okay

Can someone tell me the point of Spotify? Why would I want to listen to ad filled music thats already on my MP3 player, phone, and computer anyways?

Verizon Wireless ends unlimited data plans

Nothing new there

Our ISPs and cable providers are even worse

Top level domain explosion could wreak MAYHEM on NET

Title

Why not just prohibit the senistive words from new domains? Or even better, stop ****ing with the internet altogether?

Go Daddy in the hands of private equity giants

@hayden

They arent really that cheap. Their basic $5/month hosting has limited bandwidth and storage, the more reasonably limited or unlimited accounts are $15-30/month. Dreamhost and a few dozen other hosts are all $10/month for unlimited everything and domain names.

Worst company on the planet

I've never dealt with a company as bad or idiotic as GoDaddy. I got transferred 4 times when I called them to ask about hosting since none of the phone reps had any technical knowledge whatsoever. Finally gave up and chose a different host. Apparently their tech support is even worse.

Facebook game outfit Zynga files for $1bn IPO

Could make sense, maybe

They do have 60 million users which I'm sure takes up a ****load of servers, electricty, salary for their 1000 employees, and Facebook takes 30% of the profit as well since they have to use FB Credits. That being said, the company's valuation is insane. Electronic Arts was valued at $4 billion last I saw. There's no way Zynga should be more than that.

Initial Public Offering

When a company sells stock to the general public for the first time.

Title

Revenue is usually the total amount of sales the company did. Income is their revenue minus the cost it took to do the sales. In this case Zynga had $597 million in fake fruit sales, and after the expenses of doing those sales, had $90.6 million left over as income.

Sony to slim PlayStation 3 price

Still couldnt pay me enough

...to buy one after the PSN fiasco they just had. Definately not buying a PS4 either.

Galileo 'can deploy 24 satellites with existing funding'

Someone sounds jealous

Schools shouldnt be punishing kids for what they do off campus, end of story.

WW2 naval dazzle-camo 'could beat Taliban RPGs'

Some letters and or numbers

Why are they even trying to camoflauge tanks against RPGs? Those things bounce of most tanks and even our (American) Strykers.

Apple limits Design Awards to App Store residents

Oh well

Reason 152 why you wont see me touch anything from that company with a 10 foot pole

Eurofighter Typhoon: It's EVEN WORSE than we thought

LoL

"The Typhoons are, by any measure a disaster"

Kind of funny how we in the US are always told the F22 is a complete cockup and that the Eurofighter is better than an erotic massage from a naked Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton
