Google is looking at Malaysia as a possible site for the Worlds largest server farm. The company is looking at Malaysia aswell as India and Vietnam to site their servers.
Malaysia has it's own 'silicon valley' called the Multimedia Super Corridor which was launched about a decade ago and such a large investment by Google Yahoo! would be a major boost to Malaysias economy and make it a global player in the Network technologies industry.

Shares of SCI drop 50% after talks collapse
SCI, the company behind the successful Lara Croft games, has seen the value of it's shares drop down 54% to 26p after it called off potential merger talks due to bids being too low.
Eidos Interactive, a subsidiary of SCI Entertainment Group PLC, produced the Lara Croft series of games and sold over a million of its Kane and Lynch games since November 2007. The shares in such a company should be acquired by everyone because, due to the 'crash' it is currently undervalued and the rights to the Lara Croft brand alone could be sold for tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions.

Jeff Stewart reassures his fans
Jeff Stewart, the much loved PC Reg Hollis on The Bill, has responded to his fans following the incident of last week.
After Jeff Stewart was told his contract with The Bill will not be renewed, many of his fans have petitioned to have him returned to the show. After the response from his many fans any production company that hires him will have a great fan base immediately to build upon for their own programmes.
Maybe having PC Hollis transfer to another station because a relative is ill and he wants to be near them would be a good idea, this could then form the storyline for a new Police drama on another channel with the star as the main character.

The Economist publisher considering social networking site launch
The Economist Group, the UK Economics-based publishing group, may launch their own social networking site.
Having access to, and control over, a social networking site means The Economist magazine could have it's own focus groups so they'll be able to undertake market research any time they like without having to recruit people to ask questions. The value to the group of launching such a site would be increased within the first two years as other publishers try to emulate their success and fail thus pushing more people towards the site owned by The Economist group.
