:: Google plans pay service
to rival PayPal -WSJ
06/20/2005
Usually consumers benefit from competition!
Google Inc. this year plans to offer an electronic-payment
service that could help the Internet-search
company diversify its revenue and may heighten
competition with eBay Inc.'s PayPal unit, the
Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
Exact details of the search company's planned
service are not known, the report said, but
quoted people familiar with the matter as saying
it could have similarities with PayPal, which
allows consumers to pay for purchases on Web
sites by funding electronic-payment accounts
from their credit cards or checking accounts.

:: Google's Calculator
06/15/2005

if you enter a mathematical equation into the

have to figure out Algebra themselves. ;-)

:: Skype in merger
talks with Yahoo?
06/13/2005
Engadget is reporting that an aquisition
might be in Skype's future.
Skype and Yahoo are in "close contact," as
in, snuggly enough to talk about a possible
buyout. It makes sense from the standpoint that
Yahoo already wants to add voice to their Yahoo!
Messenger platform, and Skype would be an attractive
acquisition in terms of merging IM with VoIP.
The concern, though, is that it would complicate
Yahoo's relationship with the Baby Bells as
it tries to build its media empire status. In
any case, though, it does look like both parties
are interested in cooking up some sort of commercial
partnership. Ain't courtship grand?
