Paypal and Google

Many wonder why earnings from Google adsense can’t be paid out directly to Paypal. When Google was asked about this in different official places it tersely said that this was an impossibility. Why?
Well ladies and gentleman the answer is clear as the G in Google gmail. Google clearly does not want to compete with itself. How so one may ask? Google is going to launch a system called Gpay. It will be Paypals biggest competition.
Why will this system challenge Paypal?
For beginners it will be a Google product and seamlessly let people pay and be paid in all the Google systems. It will be designed to pay for things on the fly thru a mobile application. Paypal did introduce something similar a while back though nobody seems to know about it. We can all guess that Google will lower fees for their new system or who knows maybe make it free like most Google apps.

Cell therapy and the Bio-tech world.

The high tech world has seen the proliferation of Bio tech companies as Cell therapy and stem cell companies. There has been heated debate on the ethics of cell therapy in general and stem cell therapy in particular. This was even a point of contention in the last presidential election when then presidential hopeful Barack Obama promised to support stem cell research. This was something that his predecessor George W. Bush was against. Some of the amazing advances in research that have been witnessed into conditions such as ALS ( Lou Gehrig’s disease )and other incurable conditions have made investors understand the incredible potential in these type of companies. Many of these startups happen to be in Israel developing treatments for different ailments stemming ( no pun intended )from wound care to severe neurological disorders. The reputation of successful Israeli enterprises in these areas is very good. Many investment firms have pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into these companies expecting very healthy returns down the line. Marketing these companies has produced a complete new internet marketing person. The Bio-Tech internet marketing expert. This expert needs to know about the medical internet world. The relevant sites and journals that sites like these need to appear and how best to spread the word about a Bio-Tech site. Bio-Tech, its where the money is.
