One step closer to purchase Doubleclick

Have been following the news of Google acquiring Doubleclick for a year after the Google announced the agreement in April. Yesterday FTC has approved the deal, and Google only need to take another step forward cashing that leading online ad management company - getting the clearance from European regulators, the European Commission, and the deadline to complete the review will be April 2 2008.

Google is the leading text-based ads seller and paid search is the biggest segment of the internet market. Display ads are the coming-up biggest segment, which is the DoubleClick's strength. A combine of such strong online ad players sparked criticism from Microsoft and many others. They say the deal would give Google too much control of the online ad market.

I am longing to see what EC will do for the review and the actions that Google's rivals (Microsoft, Yahoo....etc) will take to block the deal.

Simple and Clean
by Utada Hikaru

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

You're giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,

Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple"

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

The daily things
that keep us all busy
all confusing me thats when u came to me and said,

Wish i could prove i love you
but does that mean i have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when i say so,
And maybe somethings are that simple

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

1408

"1408" is based on the terrifying story by Stephen King, the author of the best-selling novel "The Shining", I think it would be one of the best adaptations in years. Also after watching the trailer, it seems that "1408" is a one man show of John Cusack, it is a great challenge for an actor to play alone in a horror movie. I can't wait to watch it!

Description: (quoted from Yahoo!Movies)
Renowned horror novelist Mike Enslin believes only in what he can see with his own two eyes. But after a string of best-sellers discrediting paranormal events in the most infamous haunted houses and graveyards around the world, he has no real proof of life--afterlife. But Enslin's phantom-free run of long and lonely nights is about to change forever when he checks into suite 1408 of the notorious Dolphin Hotel for his latest project, "Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms." Defying the warnings of the hotel manager, the author is the first person in years to stay in the reputedly haunted room. Another best-seller may be imminent, but first he must go from skeptic to true believer--and ultimately survive the night.
