Ok, just read an article from Reuters on the lack of profit from all these important internet companies, and here’s a clip from it that blew my fucking mind.

And Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer vowed to unleash a large marketing
budget — pegged at $80 million to $100 million by Advertising Age –
to promote the company’s new search engine, even as the software firm’s
online business continues to lose money.

Where does this money go? Advertising? I suck at money. So I’ve never had much to spend on advertising. But $80 million? Where the fuck does that $80 million dollars go? I can’t even fathom speding $80M fucking dollars to promote a search engine that sucks Google’s balls.
