Nice find thanks, i actually read that all. Im all for Google taking over Microsoft, and the world for that matter. They're a good company, and have a great sense of humor, and customer relations.

If they would get together with linux (more than they currently are) they might be unstoppable....

Remove microsoft, the only way they "compete" is by buying smaller companies with actually innovations.

I have a sign for anyone who believes there is such a thing as 'fair' market prices......it goes like this..... :tard:

No offence deathBOB, it is not directed at you.

My favorite line:

In fall 2003, Microsoft briefly considered buying Google, only to realize that even if Brin, Page, and their board could have been persuaded to sell—which seemed unlikely—Microsoft would have been left to explain to the world why it was now running a search engine built entirely on Linux instead of Windows.

Dont lie, you just like rooting for the underdog

I dont care about this stuff, so long as Microsoft doesnt make the software for the Terminators of the future.

I am sorry, my sarcasm does not transmit well over the internet.

Corporations screwing the public and the country as a whole for more profits? How could that be. :roll:

I figured you were being sarcastic dB, lol. Coming from West Coast of Canada I have been having heated discussions about the closing of salmon fisheries so I am a little touchy about the Big Oil Conspiracy, as I like to call it hehe.

Are you for or against the closings? You mean closing the area from commercial fishing right?
