Microsoft bids $1.2B for Norway's Fast
Microsoft Corp. said Tuesday it agreed to buy a Norwegian search company for $1.2 billion, aiming to shore up its search technology for businesses against competition from Oracle Corp. and IBM Corp. Microsoft's cash offer of 19 kroner ($2.97) per share for Fast Search & Transfer ASA represented a 42 percent premium over the stock's Jan. 4 closing price. Fast, a 10-year-old company based in Oslo, is one of the biggest enterprise search players. Its technology, like those of competitors Autonomy Corp. and Endeca Technologies Inc., helps workers inside a business locate data kept in a tangle of different types of files and databases. It could, for example, find benefits information posted on a company intranet, an annual report from five years ago buried in a folder on a file server, the name of a colleague with a certain expertise or figures from software that tracks customer relationships.

Think before you discriminate
Drugs in most states often trace back to the deadly Los Angeles street gangs that move tons of drugs. People who buy drugs from a pusher contribute financially to the very violent gangs. How close are the Los Angeles street gangs, now that they are in every major city in California. They have operatives in almost every state. They now have gang members as close as Denver and Minneapolis. One web site claims at least three LA gangs are now in North Dakota. The people who cover for them do invite them here by default. If you know of anyone pushing drugs you have a choice. You can be part of the solution or part of the problem. " .
