...online video market, YouTube has about 47%, according to Web monitoring agency Hitwise. And visitors, on average, spend twice as long on YouTube (18 minutes) as they do watching Google videos. So Google pounced, betting that online video ads and distribution will be key to the search giant's future revenue growth. "YouTube built a better mousetrap. Not only did they build a better mousetrap, they built it earlier and faster than Google did," says Scott Kessler, Internet analyst at Standard and Poor's. "Google is the far and away leader in online video right...
...year treating up to 150,000 patients, its budget financed mostly by grants from the government, international aid agencies and charities. At an average cost of $5 a day for each patient, the center stretches that money a long way. When the monsoon season begins, the hospital erects giant tents in its parking lot to cope with the extra patients. But the success of the hospital in Dhaka has not been replicated elsewhere. In Africa, the fight against diarrhea is hampered by the lack of clean water and the infrastructure necessary to ensure public health. In countries like Ethiopia, only...

Downplaying his savvy, he said, "I picked things I liked, and over the years people interested in the same things gathered around...
...Americans, Washington is a giant cesspool. It's no wonder almost half of Americans (47%) now agree with the statement "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore." It's us (the people) versus them (the politicians), and it doesn't matter what primary color you wear. Just as in the closing scene of George Orwell's Animal Farm, even when you look closely, you can't tell the difference between the animals and the people anymore...
