I bet this number might multiply by some factors by the early morning…

Let’s see what happens!  This might be the biggest news for bloggers.

Let’s see if the people can win right to free speech against a hackable code.

(Yes, I ran out of soju and can’t sleep…)

Too bad I couldn’t make it to the Web2.0 Expo in San Francisco this year, but I drove by it and took a picture. (Yes, is that a Porsche Cayenne? I want one!!!)

I was too busy starting some new businesses but hopefully I will have more time to blog soon.

Check out the video by Eric Schmidt from Web2.0 Expo.

I am currently reading Google Hacks book from O’Reily and there’s a hack where you can see related links in graph format. Check out TouchGraph.com and see what your blog or website links to on Google or Amazon. (Above is when I typed, “zedomax” for google. You can find some really interesting links to your website.

Google buys a European country Luxemburg for 37 billion dollars! Wow, I wonder what country they will be buying next. Well, eventually a lot of small countries will have to be renamed to Googleburg, Googlece, Googland, Googrea, Googpan, Googmerica…  This is much greater than Google buying a search algorithm from an Israeli student.

This is what Larry Page told us about it: “We were looking for a new place for our Europe Headquarter for a long time. Luxemburg is a small country with a very good economics. And one interesting fact: Luxemburg has the smallest % of crimes in the whole world. We gave our business plan to Luxemburg`s government about month ago. Yesterday they accepted our offer. It will be mutual partnership. All Luxemburg`s residents will have access to all Google services, free high-speed Internet and other bonuses. Also we want to change the name of our new country to Googleburg. It is quite simple (”burg” (german) - castle) but as all Google services. We`ll make our country open to tourists so every Google user could look at Google`s work inside. But I won`t tell you all secrets. It`s gonna be a big surprise!”

I was reading up on some new books over the weekend and came up googling some Google Pagerank Patent stuff.

There’s some interesting stuff including the Google Pagerank Algorithm on Wikipedia. Check out the Method for scoring documents in a linked database by Lawrence Page if you haven’t yet. I think this is the original document. This is got to be the sum of Computer Algorithm class at Stanford. It’s very interesting.

I remember reading somethin’ like this back in college while taking a Computer Algorithms course. Of course, that was one of my favorite computer textbooks called, “Computer Algorithms“. I highly recommended it. I bet this patent will be in future college textbooks soon…

If you check out the citations from the Method for scoring documents in a linked database patent, you will see a lot of citations to actual Computer Algorithms stuff such as Graphs employing clusters, Technique for drawing directed graphs, and Method and system of routing messages in a distributed search network to name a few. Well, I am sure this is way more complicated than just an algorithm, but then, it still breaks down to a simple algorithm in the end. (Did i say simple? Well, all algorithms should break down to 1s and 0s…)

Think about how many stuff are actually involved in making this PageRank, what a masterpiece…(wasn’t that a Master’s Project? Oh wait, it’s a Ph.D Project…too bad Tiger lost the Masters…)
Anyways, this is freakin’ great… the best part, check out this quote:

Larry Page never finished his Ph.D because of the great success of his Google search engine. It was started in 1998 and grew rapidly every year since its beginnings. Page and Brin started with their own funds, and that of their friends and family but the site quickly outgrew their own available resources. They eventually received private investments through Stanford to fund the rapid growth of up to 20% per month.

Yey, this rocks!

Cool, now you can call 1-800-GOOG-411 to say what you need and wait for Google to call you back. This is tight since I don’t like callin’ 411 that much. Plus, it’s FREE!

Just in,

Viacom, the company behind MTV, sues Youtube (Google) for copyright enfringement and making money off their stuff.
This sucks since lots of videos have been taken off…(don’t they realize they also do get some free advertising through Youtube for people who don’t watch TV? )

Well, at least both companies have enough money to make this last a long time…

Viacom Inc., the company responsible for such classics a Flavor of Love and I’m From Rolling Stone, is suing Google Inc. for copyright infringement.

The suit accuses Google company YouTube of engaging in rampant profiteering off of video clips owned by Viacom and seeks $1 billion dollars in damages.

This year, daylight savings time start earlier as I speak…

Make sure your clock is in sync to the US Navy time.

It’s going to be great getting one less hour of sleep…well we will have more time for golf and blogging.

This Sunday, the second Sunday in March (March 11), at 2 a.m., Daylight Saving Time begins in the United States. This year, Daylight Saving Time is four weeks longer than last year with the passage of the Energy Policy Act in 2005. The Act, which extends Daylight Saving Time by four weeks from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November, is expected to save 10,000 barrels of oil each day through reduced use of power by businesses during daylight hours.

Can daylight savings time starting earlier really save energy?
