Microsoft has made an acquisition after a long period of time. Microsoft has bought VideoSurf, an Israeli based startup focusing on Video search. The deal amount is said to be about $70 million.

VideoSurf raised $28 million from former US President Al Gore, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, Verizon Investment Fund, Pitango Venture Capital,Orbotech Ltd. founder Hanan Gilutz, and SurveyMonkey CEO David Goldberg.

The company’s technology scans video websites, such as Hulu, Metacafe, and Dailymotion, enabling users to easily find a specific video online. The technology can scan video clips quickly, implement a thorough search of their content (such as faces or events), and tag the various clips. Another Israeli company AnyClip Ltd. supplies Hollywood video content to Videosurf to enable video search based on content. The site has more than 20 million users view each month.

That $70 million will go a long way toward curing bee viruses and repairing broken London water pipes.

Have you submitted your invention to the Nobel Committee enabling you to masturbate to gay porn while playing videos?
 
Ah the teenage years. I remember them like they were only 40 years ago.

I don't envy Israel, but I do admire it. I just happen to be sick and tired of these endlessly repetitive threads.

We believe generally in the United States, we believe in ourselves and what a young country can achieve. Israel, since 1948, now a major factor in commerce and in the world. It's a smaller replica of what has been accomplished here and I think Americans admire that. They feel good about societies that are on the move.

No wonder you're thrilled about this. Now you and USArmyRetarded have someone to host your video, "Two Spambois, One Cup".
