Search engine giant, Google Inc., recorded profit of nearly six times higher than a year earlier last Thursday, April 21, 2005. This news sent shares of Google more than 5 percent higher in after-hours trade to around $215 that day.

Google had net income of $369.2 million, or $1.29 a share, in the first quarter, compared with $64.0 million, or 24 cents a share, a year earlier. Results from the most recent quarter included a $49 million charge related to stock-based compensation.

Total revenue was $1.26 billion, up from $651.6 million a year earlier. Virtually all of the company’s revenue comes from ads that are triggered when Web users type certain key words into Google’s search engine.

ION Technologies came out a thumbdrive model built-in with a LED flashlight, named FlashLite^TM. Nowadays, thumbdrive is more like a key chain for some of us, so, it would be quite useful to have a LED light bulb on a thumbdrive. Who knows you might need that feature one day? :)

ViewSonic Corporation, a worldwide Visual Technologies company introduced today the world’s first LCD with 4 milliseconds respond time – VX924.

This LCD is utilizing ClearMotiv^TM Technology that includes the Dynamic Structure Technology and Amplified Impulse Technology to effectively reduce the response time of the liquid crystal in presenting true crisp images.

4 milliseconds is a new record breaking in LCD response time for the ViewSonic R&D team after the introduction of the world’s first LCD with 8 milliseconds. However View Sonic will not be introducing any product with below 4ms response time because there is no visible difference of value for end-user below 4ms.
