グーグルが2000億円でユーチューブ買収

2006-10-10 09:42:57 | 社会
USA TODAY Moneyより抜粋。
Google (GOOG) bought YouTube for $1.65 billion Monday in deal that catapults the Internet search leader to a leading role in the online video revolution.
The all-stock acquisition unites one of the Internet's marquee companies with one of its rapidly rising stars.
The price makes YouTube, a still-unprofitable start-up, by far the most expensive purchase made by Google during its eight-year history.

良い決断。

ロドリゲスでなく、ジーターをトレードに

2006-10-10 09:19:04 | MLB
ESPNより抜粋。斬新な意見。
If New York is to win another World Series before Yankee Stadium is torn down, owner George Steinbrenner and general manager Brian Cashman must take a bold step that will return the team to glory. Firing Joe Torre isn't the answer. They need to end the clubhouse soap opera that is ripping the team apart.
They need to address their glaring problem at third base.
And the best way to do that is by trading Derek Jeter and moving A-Rod back to short.

1. A-Rod is the better player.
2. Jeter has more trade value.
3. Jeter is a year older.
4. Jeter is more expensive.
5. Jeter doesn't provide the leadership needed.
6. It's only fair.

説得力はないが、良い案だ。あらゆる可能性を考えるべきだ。


シェフィールド、トーリの采配批判

2006-10-10 09:06:18 | MLB
Gary Sheffield told USA Today that Joe Torre's decision to bat Alex Rodriguez eighth in Game 4 ended up dooming the Yankees.
"We were worrying about all of that stuff, and we still had a game to play. If I'm on the other side, and all of a sudden they're putting Rodriguez eighth and putting me or Jason on the bench, you wonder what's going on. Those guys [the Tigers] were asking me about it. I think it boosted their morale. It gave them confidence they didn't have," Sheffield told the newspaper.

シェフィールドの言っていることは正しい。しかし、シェフィールドも今年一杯でヤンキース退団か。


Steinbrenner's Statements - 2006

2006-10-10 08:43:14 | MLB
Has the Boss finally reached his boiling point? Here is what he had to say after the Yankees' listless first-round defeat to Detroit in four games: "I am deeply disappointed at our being eliminated so early in the playoffs," Steinbrenner said in a statement issued by Rubenstein. "This result is absolutely not acceptable to me nor to our great and loyal Yankee fans. I want to congratulate the Detroit Tigers organization and wish them well. Rest assured, we will go back to work immediately and try to right this sad failure and provide a championship for the Yankees, as is our goal every year."

Steinbrenner's Statements - 2005

2006-10-10 08:42:09 | MLB
The Boss made a subtle jab at his manager, Joe Torre, by praising Angels skipper Mike Scioscia after Anaheim's first-round playoff victory in five games. "I congratulate the Angels and their manager on the great job they've done," Steinbrenner said through his spokesman, Howard Rubenstein. "Our team played hard, but we let our fans down. Our fans are the greatest in the world and I want to thank them for their amazing support throughout the season. We will do better."
