Real Estate prices. Highest to lowest cities show more than a 1000% difference.
| Wow, Coldwell Banker is reporting these stats on the most expensive vs cheapest USA markets for a comparable 4 BR house. I’ve been wondering about this for some time and this indicates clearly the truth of the old maxim in real estate “location, location, location”Looks like here in southern Oregon we are near the national average of about 410k for a 4BR house.

1850 bottle of Scotch sets sales record at almost $60,000
A 157 year old Bowmore Scotch sold for almost $60,000, setting a new world scotch record. My experiences with single malts have been uninspired - so much so that I’m skeptical about most people who claim to have special tastes for good scotch.
However in this case I’m guessing that even I could tell the difference.
But at $2000 for a shot of this whiskey I’m confident we’ll never know.
Hey Mr. Bartender, can you make mine a 1850 Bowmore whiskey sour with extra ice?
Google + Doubleclick? Microsoft cries “Advertiser Monopolizer!”
Dana Baran over at WebGuild blog has a great short article summarizing Microsoft’s case against a Google takeover of Doubleclick. The chart (from the MS legal team?) has what appears to be an excellent summary of the total online advertising spend. I assume this is for 2006 but not sure. It shows approximately a 20 billion total ad spend with Google scooping up 30% followed by Doubleclick at 22%, Yahoo at 19%, Microsoft at 17%, and all the rest at 12%.
Microsoft’s point seems to be that Google and Doubleclick should not merge because, as the two leading recipients of online advertising revenue, this would create a player with more than half the market and thus too much power over the marketplace and advertisers.
