Florida Voters Hoping For Solutions from Republicans!

Wall Street Journals’s Arian Campo-Flores reports on housing crisis and how it has hit Florida especially hard. He reports Florida’s residents are looking to presidential candidates for specific remedies. Florida, California, and Nevada (=Las Vegas) have been the worst impacted housing markets in the USA. In other words, the bubble and greed was the maximum in these states. So the voters in these states are clearly going to use their vote to get their woes addressed. In my view, Florida’s voters should not expect any of the Republican candidates to solve their problems housing and employment problems.

Battle Update: Google Youtube vs Viacom

Fresh updates have come from the courtroom on the Legal Battle between Google Youtube vs Viacom.

You will like how Viacom asked for the house-keys of Google Youtube with it’s list of demands, which includes:

  • Youtube User Data and Logging Histories
  • Copies of all current and deleted videos (including private videos!)
  • Source Code of Google Advertising Schema
  • Source Code for Google Search Engine (and Viacom will do what with that :-)

If you keep Internet economy and content privacy aside for a minute, Viacom sure is showing Goolge how to make a living with just a legal team.

So there’s a method to it, perfected over decades: Invest one-time in producing some decent content, and then make a living with lawsuits.

Now the judge has agreed to some demands, and said no to others.
