The piso (Filipino) or peso (English and Spanish) is the currency of the Philippines. It is subdivided into 100 sentimo (English: centavos). Its ISO 4217 code is "PHP".

The piso is usually denoted by the symbol . This symbol was added to the Unicode standard in version 3.2 and is assigned U+20B1 (₱). Due to the lack of font support, the symbol is often substituted with a simple P, a P with one horizontal line instead of two (available as the peseta sign, U+20A7 (₧), in some fonts), PHP, or PhP.

Following the steps of Microsoft, Google continues it's expansion through acquisitions.

The NY Times report: "Google reached an agreement today to acquire DoubleClick, the online advertising company, from two private equity firms for $3.1 billion in cash, the companies announced, an amount that was almost double the $1.65 billion in stock that Google paid for YouTube late last year.

The sale offers Google access to DoubleClick's advertisement software and, more importantly, its relationships with Web publishers, advertisers and advertising agencies." (full story)

Meanwhile, columnists on Infoworld (Google-DoubleClick: Dangerous monopoly?) and ZDNet (Google DoubleClick marriage (can be) risky business) fear the worst, either for Google or for... advertisers and publishers. Finally, bloggingbuyouts suggests that Google doubles it's fresh $3.1bn acquisition record and buy Monster.com

 At the very least, the future will be interesting...

David "liorean" Andersson writes in the Digital Web Magazine on HTML5, XHTML2, and the Future of the Web :

"HTML 4.01 was made a recommendation in 1999, XHTML 1.0—a formulation of HTML 4.01 in XML—became a recommendation in 2000, and was revised in 2002. In other words, at the base of all modern web development is an eight-year-old technology.

... The W3C has long had XHTML2 in the works, a technology that aims to fill the same role as HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0, an upgrade or replacement with many improvements and changes to the semantic elements available.

... HTML5 (also sometimes referred to as Web Applications 1.0) is a technology developed by the WHATWG, an open community started by three of the four major browser vendors: Mozilla, Opera, and Apple. HTML5 is not so much a replacement for HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0 as it is an upgrade or evolution."
