 | | 2008-05-09 | Google: We Like Yahoo, and We Like It Independent
Quote
Will you do a search advertising deal with Yahoo? How will you do it in a way that avoids antitrust objections? Are you relieved that Microsoft withdrew its offer for Yahoo?
The questions were asked again and again by a group of reporters meeting with Google’s top three executives Thursday. Eric Schmidt, the chief executive, and Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the company’s co-founders, answered roughly: We’d like to; we can’t tell you; and yes.

| 2008-05-08 | Putin's right hand man Medvedev , takes over
Not really but that's the way Putin wants it to look as his long time protégé takes over as President of the USSR
Quote
Dmitri Medvedev, the Kremlin insider and unprepossessing lawyer who had never held elected office before, was sworn in as the Russian president Wednesday inside the Grand Kremlin Palace.
The ceremony, mixing czarist splendor with renewed Russian confidence, marked the passing of formal power from President Vladimir Putin to his young and untested protégé. But the events also served as a tribute to the enduring stature and popularity of Putin, who Medvedev nominated as prime minister within hours of taking office. |

| 2008-05-06 | On Spam's Birthday, Three Cheers for 'Delete'
Quote
It was 30 years ago this Saturday that users of Arpanet, a U.S. government-designed precursor to the Internet, logged onto their accounts to find what is considered the first piece of unsolicited commercial e-mail ever sent.
It was a pitch for a new computer. "We invite you to come see the 2020 and hear about the DECSYSTEM-20 family at the two product presentations we will be giving in California this month," read the missive, sent by a salesman named Gary Thuerk on May 3, 1978.

Quote
Their personal peccadilloes make the saving-humanity business a lot more complicated than it used to be.
REMEMBER when popcorn movie heroes only had to worry about beating their nemeses? Now they have to also overcome their neuroses.

Here's a look at some of the summer's conflicted good guys and their season of discontent.

| 2008-05-02 | Ocean Dead Zones Growing; May Be Linked to Warming
Quote
The world's hypoxic zones—swaths of ocean too oxygen-deprived to support fish and other marine organisms—are rapidly expanding as sea temperatures rise, a new study suggests.
Researchers have tracked a decline in dissolved oxygen levels since 1960 in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, which has extended the size of these undersea deserts and intensified their effects. |

Quote
Scientists in New Zealand will shortly put their rare intact colossal squid specimen under the dissection knife.
The 10-metre (34 feet) long, half-tonne carcass has been defrosting since Monday afternoon in Wellington.

Scientists hope the dissection will yield new information about where and how they live and breed. |
