Oh no! What will YouTube do? Seriously, Thailand...I know the King is all cool and everything, but you guys gotta chill. I remember visiting there and in public everyone is like "Oh yes! The royal family is da bomb diggity!" As soon as you get in the car it's like, "man did you hear what the prince did last week?"
C'mon man, let's grow up and be honest here. We know everyone in power partakes of some sort of debauchery every now and again (cough Clinton cough). So how about it? Let's just be adults and say what's really on everyone's mind? Oh wait...I'm banned from Thailand too? Man this sucks...now I know how YouTube feels.

Question: And where do you think the Google-YouTube deal leaves Microsoft?David Vise: I think Microsoft missed the Internet revolution.
Question: That's a pretty big revolution to miss.
David Vise: Yeah, and they missed it. I think so far, they are continuing to miss it. Their inability, despite all their resources, to become an attractive partner in deal after deal where Google bested them. It happened when Google cut a deal with AOL. It happened here. These companies don't want to align with Microsoft. They want to be part of the Google world, and if Microsoft told them, "We are going to leave you alone and let you run independently," I am not sure they would trust them. When the Google guys tell them that, they believe them.
Ouch....that hurts...but the game's not over yet my friend...read the full story here.
