SOG comment: HI Dr.!!!...I am here, just running a "beta test" in "the asylum" to see what it would be like if I was offered a job with NEOM, accepted it and then found out that I could not post anymore here in "the asylum"...(as would be anticipated, could you imagine me on a SNL routine, suggesting to Mr. Rick Szatkowski that we post Time Magazine shareholders of the year covers to include beacon, chartist, hangdog, and Dr. Myke on the Neom Website, lol, that's why I would have to take action to remove myself from this cartoonland environment all toghether so I could then focus as a NEOM employee, with the rest of my teamates at NEOM, how to best contribte towards the "unlocking of exponential "SHAREHOLDER VALUE";)..lol),lol....I have done it before, focused on what is important to drive the business and I will admit, to not post anymore would be a "necessary evil", and immediately upon accepting the offer, I'd have my alias/monikor removed from here and never post again (see... Neom Mgt, I can do it;))...and then focus on discipilizing the world about paperclick and all its IP:-))...don't read too much into that though as this is only a beta test;)...remember Bill Gates?, he dropped out of Harvard and then established Microsoft, I bet if you asked him, and I know some who have, he'd say there is no substitute for experience over theory:-))...well, better not go there:-0))...:-))...so one day, if I have the time to study theory, lol, I'd like to go back to school and get my "double phd" in mobile advertising and mobile marketing:-))...that was "for the record"...lol ps, back to the dd, GONEOM: see here: Viacom to counter News Corp.'s MySpace.com

MUMBAI: Viacom is planning to get into the social networking game. Speaking to attendees at an industry event in New York, Viacom CEO Tom Freston revealed the company's plans to own a social networking portal to compete with the likes of the News Corp.-owned MySpace.com.
According to media reports, Freston did not spell out Viacom's exact plans to match its rival's success with MySpace.com. News Corp. bought out the portal last year for about $600 million.
Viacom has reportedly met with a number of online social networking firms, but so far it has released no details as to whether it will enter the market via partnerships or acquisitions.
ps...going to watch a Dreamworks latest animation DVD release DVD in DTS with some socially networked folks in "the hood"... this home theater thing is getting out of control...and I am still amazed all for about $3,000 bucks...sweeeeeet...I don't know where that News Corp prez gets his numbers from (he said "...most people spend $25,000 on a home theater system, so they will spend $25 for a first run DVD release simultaneously with a theater release" (hello "Uncle Rupert", lol, the price of home theaters have dropped big time in the last few quaters, the masses are ripe for this type of stuff, heck I just paid $40 bucks to go to my local theater this past Friday with the inlaws to watch a first run movie...and would gladly pay $25 for the same release for 24 hours on my HOME TURF so I can enjoy my space with my neighbors and have a good time, lol...anyway, I can't wait to get HD Movies beamed to my cell phone so I can plug into a tree while hiking in the middle of nowhere and watvch a HD movie through my cell phone on the mountainside:-)) ....end of dream...jmho.... http://www.dreamworksanimation.com/http://www.dreamworks.com/dreamworks_home.html
