Facebook Buying Out Skype? $4 Billion Deal Being Talked About Reply

All, News: US, Science & Technology • Tags: , , , , , , ,

See who Mark Zuckerberg is after these days. We hear the Facebook CEO is eyeing the takeover of the much popular Skype. If the grapevine is true to what it manages to churn out, Facebook might end up buying out Skype for a price close to $4 billion.

Some observers out there firmly believe some sort of action is actually happening, but then that doesn’t mean there is a take over bid. They feel that the deal may not be a buy out, but a joint venture between Facebook and Skype.

We need not tell you that Skype and Facebook have been associated with each other for some time now.  If you would remember, Facebook had been in the scheme of things at Skype and this was demonstrated by Skype when they rolled out their version 5.0 software for Windows.

The software had a dedicated Facebook tab so as to enable users to chat or call Facebook friends via Skype. This was in fact made possible right from “the Facebook newsfeed which can be viewed from within the Skype application”.

By the way, if you are looking at going into what the $4 billion ‘possible’ takeover would bring to Skype, let us also take you to a situation where Skype had been mulling over an IPO. If you would remember, the Skype IPO was recently delayed by its new CEO until the second half of 2011. And that public offer would have brought to the Skype coffers only around $1 billion. Considering such a scene, the Facebook move, if at all that bears fruit, could mean a lot to Skype. We also hear Google too is looking at a venture with Skype. More details are awaited.

FBI’s most wanted poster of Osama Bin Laden makes no mention of 911… why not? 8

9/11, All, News: International, News: US • Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

Now, for the flip side of my previous post asking FOX to put a lid on it out of respect to the families of the 911 victims….

I most certainly believe in free-thinking… to explore, gather data, and come to my own conclusions. However, when the facts and truths are limited or skewed, I often find myself not being able to being able to reasonably come to a decision. Therefore, I remain agnostic on the matter… neither believing nor disbelieving what has been laid before me.

I have now come to realize I am in a quandry with 911…. First of all, I most certainly believe without a doubt that the general public, such as myself, will never know the true facts behind the collapse of the Twin Towers and Building 7. Was it Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda fronting an act of terrorism against the “infedel” know as the US? Was it perhaps Bush and part of the US government (or US-International combination) seeking to obtain world-wide power and financial gain? Or another inexplicable reason altogether? The truths behind this day will never be known beyond a doubt. The families of the innocent will forever suffer. Since the day I watched the towers collapse, it has never set right with me that they went down in a manner much like implosion. And then there’s Building 7….

When I was prepping my previous posting which is asking FOX to shut the #*@! up and stop whining on how Obama sent the Seals in to capture/kill Bin Laden (out of respect for the 911 families), I wanted to include an image of the “FBI Most Wanted” poster of Osama Bin Laden. So I googled away… but what I found surprised me.

No where on this wanted poster does it mention 911…. no where.

It states, “Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people. In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world.”

Nothing… nada… zero… zilch.

For nearly ten years, we have been led to believe that Bin Laden was behind this horrific event. Have we been lied to this whole time? Placing blame on OBL for ulterior motives?

I’m tired of excuses and lies. What is the truth?

I am neither affirming nor denying this viewpoint of what occurred on 9/11/2001. Just passing on information for you to decide….

FOX, put a lid on it… Have some respect for the families of 911… 1

“We got Bin Laden but at what cost and who’s next. Can the president send the Navy Seals to kill the likes of Qaddafi, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jong Il…” quoted from FOX Business “Who Will the President Kill Next?”

Seriously… is FOX really comparing what Bin Laden has done to this country, on US soil, to the likes of Gaddafi? Chavez? Kim Jong Il? Mind you, they are all far from being saints, but relative to what each has done directly to the US, there is no comparison.

Yes, there are several conspiracy theories which point the destruction of the Twin Towers at other parties other than Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda. However, for the sake of this blog post, let’s go with the predominant theory that the Twin Towers were the victims of a terrorism attack by OBL and his groupies from Al-Qaeda in order to make a point here.

Since 9/11/2001, Bush, the FBI, the government, and especially the families of those who perished on that most devastating day have been hunting for OBL. On May 1st, 2011, they all finally got what they wanted. At first, praises were sung for President Obama, but now the likes of FOX News and their lack-of-common-sense cohorts are now criticizing Obama for sending in the Seals and killing OBL.

WTF….

I mean, SERIOUSLY! Did this man not kill nearly 3,000 innocent people? And on American soil! Brought down three buildings – two of which were architectural phenomenons. And these fools want to berate the shooting of an unarmed mass murderer of thousands of innocent people? The pain that these families of the 911 victims must now be going through by listening to this crap. I can only imagine that the majority of them would have loved to have been the Navy Seal that took down Osama.

And now, FOX Business is comparing OBL to the infamous deeds of Gaddafi… Chavez… Kim Jong Il…. That’s comparing apples to oranges. Or Trump to Lincoln. Or the Happy Hooker to Mother Theresa… I think you get my point.

If FOX, Glenn Beck, and their other idiotic whiners and criers did not like the way this all went down… then why didn’t they do it themselves…..

Please, for the sake of the families of 911… muster up a small amout of respect and put a lid on it.
