CBS to Acquire CNET for $1.8 Billion
“The core businesses of CNET Networks and CBS Interactive represent near perfect category symmetry in premium online content,”
Quincy Smith, President, CBS Interactive.
Blah blah blah… it’s another corporate buyout. This acquisition will make CBS one of the top 10 internet companies in the United States with a combined 54 million unique users per month (my sites get about 100,000), and approximately 200 million users worldwide.

Kyle Loves Google Voice

The reason I’m taking time out of my life to flame Linkshare is because of their complete disregard for the quality of their system in its entirety.

So I recently ordered “God’s Chosen Fast” from an Amazon.com seller. The book was processed, shipped, and at my door in 3 days.
