Anti-trust laws would explode

Hmmm... literal Google Earth, anyone?

Wheelchair McHawking must investigate.

Go go robocopter.

I'm still pissed at my parents for not loading up on Google stock at it's IPO like I told them to.

Did you load up on Google stock instead? Or are you not allowed to play with the stock market?

Unfortunatly I didn't have the neccessary cash laying around, or I certainly would have. My mom even said the other day she regrets not listening to me about it. Easy money right there, massive ROI.

Fair enough.

ROI? That's "Republic of Ireland" to me. :p

Return On Investment

Fair enoughskis.

I've only just remembered this nifty little video.

My family purchased roughly 8,000 in Google's stock in 1999, we've got a relative that is a developer for the company, our earnings are nearly 600k now. I love google.

Well grats to you asshat.

I own 49% of Samsung myself. Want to race Yachts?

I thought it was illegal to have stocks in a company if you have a relative working there. Something about insider information.

No, you can own stock even if you work for the company, you're just restricted in when you can trade it. (It has to be within a certain period after the company's quarterly report.)

Ah, OK.

I must be thinking along the same lines as these competitions where you can't enter if you have a relative working there.

Daft owd me. :)

You can certainly own, purchase, trade, and otherwise deal with stock in companies you yourself work for or that your relatives do, the government just has restrictions in place on your activities so that you can't take advantage of privileged information that the public would not have access to.

Nooooo! Youtube is down. I hoep they arent doing any googlefied changes V_V

Works fine for me...

And it still says: Copyright © 2006 YouTube, Inc. at the bottom of the pages.

I'd hope so. 8 hr maint would be unusual.

It's always possible, though. Especially if there are a lot of things to do/maintenance has't been carried out for yonks.

Yonks?

It's a technical term meaning "a long period of time".

....wow and i though u guys wer weird
