One of the interesting things about this is that I think they seriously underestimate the amount of money required to do something interesting. In 2005, Google has spent over $500 million on R&D plus over $800 million on capital equipment and infrastructure. We can expect spending growth to continue to progress geometrically.Originally posted by BeBro
Well, to reply something serious - I don't like the idea that private business gets lots of money for something they should pay themselves for. If they are behind in that area they should get their **** together, but with their own money. I don't know about Thomson, but Deutsche Telekom is certainly not a poor company. It is not even comparable to Airbus, which is a totally different case IMO.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

The most striking proposal seeks to create a search engine for the general public that can sort through audio, images and video as well as text.
If they manage to put that through, then
Not only would it be very convenient to the individual user, it could have very interesting consequences for the media industry as well."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

This is already done by Yahoo! and Google.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

In any case, it sounds more like a joint venture in which the government will participate, so I don't see why you need to call it "welfare" - that's my point.Originally posted by DanS
The stated reason for this boondoggle is to lessen the R&D gap, not to promote national cultural interests.In Soviet Russia, Fake borises YOU.Comment

A joint venture to reproduce something that everyone in Europe can already use for free (and in their own language).....“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Ok, but that's no argument for business. Would be like saying we don't need US car companies, we already have Mercedes, BMW and Audi.Originally posted by pchang

It can't hurt to have a bit more competition in the search engine business if they want to spend tax dollars on it. I think it is grossly unfair for governments to subsidize industry but maybe I will benifet from having a search engine which can ferret out the best porn videos on the web.

You don't have to have a search engine for that, just sign up to Pekka's newsletter.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment
