Back in October 2006, a few days before Google acquired YouTube, I wrote a post called YouTube is wildy profitable, no doubts about it, it was probably the first I published on this blog that got a lot of attention.  Anyway, I had no proof that YouTube was actually profitable or for that matter generating material revenues, but the point was: it could be in a very strong state despite the alleged hosting fees, which we now know through peering arrangements can be contained.

However, with Viacom and Google disclosing numerous documents, it turns out, that while not profitable (after all expenses), YouTube was indeed generating revenues which covered most of their expenses as early as August 2006.  You knew that if Google was willing to pay $1.65B for a company that was 18 months old, it wasn’t doing so simply for the promise, but still, that is quite impressive. I guess what Steve Chen and Chad Hurley knew then was that at that pace, YouTube’s growth would ensure that its costs would far exceed its revenues in the short term, and a sale to Google would make that concern evaporate. continue reading...

After their 2008 debut album Parc Avenue charmed the pants off many a music fan, Plants and Animals are set to return with a brand new album called La La Land.  The first tune to be heard from the album is called “Tom Cruz” and its an exciting blend of sounds from the first album with a darker edge than the band had before.  Check it out below, the new album comes out April, 20th.

Yes, I know Far Cry vengeance isn’t exactly a new game… but I have seen it floating around the bargain bin for about 3 bucks. Too expensive or too awesome? Tell you what, watch Billy The Kidd’s review in which he goes over the pros and cons of buying a terrible game.

Here’s a bit about Billy by Billy himself:
“The Infamous Billy the Kidd surprises everyone, including himself, with this look at Far Cry Vengeance. In yet another chapter of The Kidd Vs. series, The Kidd takes a fresh look at this game from his unique and infamous perspective. And historically, never has such an underwhelming game received such an overwhelming review.” continue reading...

If you’re one of the many woman who is trying to watch what she eats and go healthy you may be comforted to know that there’s a reason that you can’t stop at one cheesy fry!

Here’s how this deviousness works: “Human beings have what food-industry insiders call a “bliss point,” a nirvana of the taste buds triggered by particular amounts of salt, sugar, and fat. Menu scientists (yes, that’s a job!) at popular restaurant chains and packaged-food corporations use their knowledge of the bliss point to manipulate your appetite, adding salt, sugar, and fat to their products in combinations designed to create hedonism on a plate—a taste experience so intense that it kicks the brain’s pleasure system into overdrive. It’s like a drug. And like any drug, it leads you to obsess about that moment of pleasure so much that you’ll do almost anything to prolong or relive it. The result: a bigger bottom line for them—and a bigger waistline for you.” continue reading...

As a product of the 80s, I have to tell you that the rivalry between Mario and Sonic The Hedgehog is my version of the cold war. It just doesn’t sit right that Mario and Sonic are playing nice. Mario should be trying to flush that rat down a toilet, not race him at the Olympic games. continue reading...

Scientists have developed a new way to go green and keep the pests away!

They have created super-sexed males that they will release into fields to breed with the females. These males have been fed a healthy diet that makes them more attractive to the females and because these males are sterile there will be no babies! continue reading...

There’s no disputing that Tim Burton is a visionary. However, I do feel that his films have always been hit and miss (especially in the past decade). I wasn’t a fan of Sweeney Todd and I find his predictable casting of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter to be getting especially thin. continue reading...

One night, two savage hits in the NHL.  This is crazy: Colin “Ball-less” Campbell should have simply suspended Matt Cooke last week and this would not have happened.
