GooTube!

Big online video announcements abound today.
The Google buying YouTube rumor from this weekend seems to have been accurate.
Google is buying YouTube for $1.65 billion in Google stock.

YouTube also announced deals with Universal, Sony BMG, and CBS. *

This comes after a similar deal with Warner a bit back. *

So somehow YouTube survived the shakey legal start and is now the de facto way to get video to people's eyes online.

N Korea is in the nuke club, but we don't want to invite them to meetings.
Washington Post actually has an article that says that the bomb was SOO small it could only kill 1/42nd the number of people the US killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. *
Seismic data confirms SOMETHING big exploded. *
