<description><![CDATA[Online ad-optimizing service PubMatic is now publishing an AdPrice Index with the average rates collected for remnant ads by 3,000 Web publishers. These are the ads that sites place from the big ad networks when they cannot sell the inventory themselves at normally higher rates. Small sites (those with less than one million page views per month) command nearly three times as much per ad as large sites (those with more than 100 million page views per month): an effective CPM (cost per thousand) of $1.18 versus $0.38. The effective CPM across sites of all sizes is $0.49. All of these figures are for March, 2008. Ad rates are also growing faster for small sites, up 18 percent since January versus 12 percent growth overall.The low average rates for large sites reflects the poor returns on social networks, entertainment, and gaming sites. Effective CPMs for social networks are amongthe lowest at $0.37 in March. But there is hope, that was up 69 percent from $0.22 in January.<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[After a long search that turned up no other buyers, Shawn Fanning's startup Snocap is being bought by music social network imeem. We first reported the deal in February. Imeem is officially announcing the deal today. Terms are not being disclosed, but we believe it was less than $5 million-a fire sale price compared to the $10 more than $15 million that was invested in Snocap. Fanning, most famous for founding Napster, may be getting a double payday because his other startup, Rupture, is also rumored to have been snapped up recently. For imeem, this is its second small acquisition, after buying Anywhere.FM in January.<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>

So with every single TV show that ever existed making its way to DVD, the question is, why aren't these shows getting proper releases?<br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Prosecutors called Chi Mak the &quot;perfect sleeper agent,&quot; though he hardly looked the part. For two decades, the bespectacled Chinese-born engineer lived quietly with his wife in a Los Angeles suburb, buying a house and holding a steady job with a U.S. defense contractor, which rewarded him with promotions and a security clearance. Colleagues remembered him as a hard worker who often took paperwork home at night.Eventually, Mak's job gave him access to sensitive plans for Navy ships, submarines and weapons. These he secretly copied and sent via courier to China -- fulfilling a mission that U.S. officials say he had been planning since the 1970s.Mak was sentenced last week to 24 1/2 years in prison by a federal judge who described the lengthy term as a warning to China not to &quot;send agents here to steal America's military secrets.&quot; But it may already be too late: According to U.S. intelligence and Justice Department officials, the Mak case represents only a small facet of an intelligence-gathering operation that has long been in place and is growing in size and sophistication.<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[New service TagCow caused a bit of a stir over the weekend. The product seemingly solves the problem of auto-categorization and tagging of photos, something that seems to still be beyond the processing power and software skills of most startups.Users upload photos - thousands of them if they like - and within a few minutes the photos are returned with stunningly accurate descriptive keywords that facilitate searching and browsing later on. The product worked so well, and the site had so little description of the technology behind it, that I speculated that humans were doing the work in the background.<br/><br/>2 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Objects &quot;could be combined to create other objects, but any given object only served a questionable amount of purpose.&quot; The first prototype went live in 2002 and closed in 2004.<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[An interesting end to the Craigslist hoax story over the weekend that left an Oregon man minus his stuff: A couple named Brandon and Amber Herbert apparently placed the ad as a cover to a planned theft of two horse saddles. They placed the ad on Craigslist, which said that all the belongings were free for the taking at an abandoned house. They then joined in the mob that showed up for the goods.Their IP address was tracked by police through information supplied by Craigslist.<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Here's the other, less popular loser from Good Charlotte's ex-girlfriend Sophie Monk showing of some serious leg action in LA the other day. We all know that he's dating Paris Hilton now instead, but I have to assume Sophie dumped his ass, because there's no way in hell he would give up her for a chick whose dietary habits consist of Valtrex and booze. Anyway, let's hope Sophie learned her lesson: that dating guys from cheesy boy bands is never a good idea and that the only way for her clean up her image now is to have sex with me. Yes, that goes for all the skanks out there too.<br/><br/>2 Vote(s) ]]></description>

The hardware's identical to current-gen Eee PCs, though, so if you're happy with your little white lappy and are itching for XP you might try to pick up a license on eBay. Still, if all goes well for ASUS, they'll be selling 4x what they did the first time around, innit?<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>
