Hehe, was coming to post it. Also was going to post this oddity:

http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/

Regarding Google/YouTube, I hope they through YouTube under the bus. I'd hate to see Google Video turn into that ugly and cluttered pos site. Leave my Google Video full screen and uncluttered.

And since I only posted this in IRC, <3 http://www.google.com/codesearch

It allows you to search through open source code. I'd bet it can be pretty handy for a programmer.

chump change? hah youTube still sucks

The price makes YouTube, a still-unprofitable startup, by far the most expensive purchase made by Google during its eight-year history.

Yea, so what if it doesnt make money right away? It was more of a strategic buy, to prevent something like MSN or Yahoo to try to make up major ground on google.

I remember seeing a video in writing class last year that basically hypothesized how Google would develop into a super corporation that, by 2015, would control all facets of media and have a near monopoly on all of it. Shit like newspapers and print media becoming completely obsolete, google owning every other news corporation etc. It was pretty interesting and really not that farfetched. Kinda scary how much a company can grow like them.
