Meanwhile, a startup debuted in cyberspace today: truveo. They claim to have a technology which allows them to visual crawl through the Internet. Or, in more dumb words, they have crwalers able to watch movies and other visual content in the Internet, and categorized it. The few experiences I made resulted in impressive results.

Original article here, bold it's my contribution to it:

PayPal, the global online payment service (is Visa and Google sleeping on the job?), today announced new micropayments processing fees for digital goods. The new pricing will provide merchants (read porn site owners) with a more affordable way to process payments for low-cost digital content such as video games (read porn films), online greeting cards, news articles, mobile phone content and digital music. PayPal's micropayments pricing is designed to give customers the convenience of a-la-carte purchases (read porn a-la-carte), such as 99-cent downloadable ringtones (read porn movies), without having to sign up for annual subscriptions (no one needs to know you love porn) or pre-funded payment accounts (porn when you want, no need to pre-pay it).
