Mathew, If I read this right, Interpublic group is getting More than just .5 percent, they are also getting $10 million in advertising. This would push the (estimated) valuation downwards, as it is not a straight cash-for-shares deal. Someone please tell me if my brain is not working properly and I'm misreading the story.
Damn. I will never complain about my energy bill again. It's a good thing they aren't building those farms here in Ontario. Sounds like Google alone would be enough to put us in perpetual brownouts.
Seriously though, I wonder how much longer this type of growth will continue. They could be at 5 million servers by the end of the decade.
