Two pieces of news, not about me

The first one is from yesterday. It has detailed how easy a computer can be infected by virus, malicious programs and also being used as an attacker. It's interesting to see how BBC monitors all the attacks using a honeypot.

See here.


The second one is also about technology. Google has announced a US$1.6bn buyout of video-sharing website YouTube. See here for a detailed analysis of this acquisition.

I had a short discussion with TY about this. We think that, it could be another technology bubble, just bigger and harder to burst. Or is that website really worth HKD$10,000,000,000? Without a doubt, the site generates a lot of advert revenues, and may soon receive income from broadcasting clips with copyrights. Also the technology behind this simple idea is also a valuable asset. Only time will tell if it's a good buy for Google.
