In his blog, John Battelle writes that analysts, who expect Google to perform flawlessly over the next year or so, are calling the companys stock "priced to perfection." Battelle takes the opportunity to remind us that Google was not down with playing that game with Wall Street when they ?"dropped that bomb of an S1" on the world last April. Now that the pressure is on, "My guess is Google will stick to its original principles, miss analyst expectations, and the stock will go up anyway," he concludes.
Do you think Google will continue to double its profit growth? TalkBack.

$3 bln needed to bring WiMAX to 98% of US households
Posted by ZDNet Research @ 3:48 pm
Categories: Wireless data
Tags:
Another area where WiMAX is expected to do well is as a way to provide Point-to-Point (PtP) links. A prime example would be with cellular BTSs that are currently using a leased line to provide a backhaul to the network. Deploying a WiMAX-based network that reaches 98% of US homes would cost an estimated $3 bln - including equipment, towers, and other ancillary costs. Beyond VoIP and broadband, WiMAX promises to eventually provide a solution for the high cost of cellular phone use. There are also a myriad of other, smaller applications, such as helping with Homeland Security or traffic safety, that are open to WiMAX on an ancillary basis.

If youre a member of the press and you write anything thats remotely critical of Linuxs chances of success on the desktop (which I have), the Linux community unleashes a fury of fire and brimstone upon you.
