According to the Wall Street Journal, Ray William Johnson may be the first YouTube millionaire that isn’t already a famous musician. 

Under the name RayWJ, the 30-year-old now has 1.5 billion views of his videos on YouTube, and is expected to be bringing in about $1 million per year from YouTube’sad revenue share and from sales of his merchandise. 

Johnson is famous for ranting about other videos (somewhat like the shows “The Soup” or “Tosh.0″) and for bringing in famous comedians to guest star in videos. The viral star’s twice-weekly show averages around 10 million views per week. 

Because of his popularity, RayWJ is a YouTube partner that makes somewhere between $3000 and $9000 per every 2 million views. 

For now, Johnson still calls his videos a “hobby.”

David Choe, a graffiti artist who was hired by Sean Parker to paint the walls of Facebook’s headquarters, is about to be worth $200 million. 

Choe was given thousands of shares as payment for his work in 2005, even though he reportedly called the site “ridiculous and pointless.” Choe will be one of 1200 employees, advisers and investors that will become millionaires or billionaires when the social network goes public in April. 

The social network will raise $5 billion in its IPO, with a value of almost $100 billion, far and away the largest public offering, ever. 

Founder Mark Zuckerberg will see the biggest payday, with his 28 percent share of the company. Depending on the final value of the company, Zuckerberg will be worth somewhere in the $25-30 billion range. 

Despite their years of lawsuits and complaints against Facebook, the Winklevoss twins will see a large windfall as well, thanks to their 1.2 million shares received in an early settlement with Mark Zuckerberg.

Verisign Hacked Repeatedly

VeriSign, the registry for the .com and.net top-leveldomains, has admitted today it was hacked repeatedly in 2010. 

More surprisingly, top-level managers were not notified about the data breaches until 2011, added the company in its statement. 

Says the company in their recent 10-Q SEC filing: “In 2010, VeriSign faced several successful attacks against its corporate network in which access was gained to information on a small portion of our computers and servers.” 

It is unclear what data was compromised or lost. 

VeriSign also noted that “given the nature of such attacks, we cannot assure that our remedial actions will be sufficient to thwart future attacks or prevent the future loss of information.”

Department of Justice

In an effort to shut down illegal sports streaming sites before the Super Bowl on Sunday, American prosecutors have taken down 16 popular sites including FirstRowTV. 

Thousands of users use the sites to watch NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and Fifa streams, not to mention pay-per-view events like UFC or boxing. 

One man, 28-year-old Yonjo Quiroa of Michigan, has been arrested and charged with being the operator behind 9 of the sites. Authorities say Quiroa made over $13,000 profit from the sites through advertisements. 

The list of the sites taken down is: firstrow.tv, firstrowsports.com, firstrowsports.net, firstrowsports.tv, hq-streams.tv, robplay.tv, soccertvlive.net, sports95.com, sports95.net, sports95.org, sportswwe.net, sportswwe.tv, sportswwe.com, xonesports.tv, youwwe.com and youwwe.net. 

Last year, days before the Super Bowl, as well, U.S. authorities took down 10 similar sites. As with all piracy-based activities, if you take down one, many more will just pop up to take its place, as is expected after the demise of firstrow.

Who Are We?

We are Storm Multi-Media Technologies UK Ltd, and over the next couple of months, we are going to bring to you [The Customer] a brighter tomorrow.  How?  Well, the simplest way to explain this, is to recap on the way that the world has changed over the last 20 or so years, and by change, we mean the rise and fall of many companies that were once trusted by our parents for low priced household and leisure products.

If you remember travelling into the local town and going shopping for bargains, and actually getting bargains of a very comfortable price, then you, like us will know that those days have almost gone.  When you look at one price of a certain product next to the other same product which costs even more, you start to wonder two things; first, can you really afford to buy it?  And secondly, if that is so expensive, how much does the shop buy it for?

At Storm Multi-Media Technologies UK Ltd, we believe that at least 90% of all companies today believe that they have the edge on the customer (any company that denies this is fibbing), because they’re belief is in the profit and buying of mass stock to make even more profit.  Yet, what happen’s when these companies over-stock and over-price these products is basically what we’re seeing today – mass closures of companies, whether well established or not.  Debt’s arising from overstock can happen so easily, as well as Manufacturer’s forcing their bullying tactic’s on small, medium and large companies and businesses to buy bigger at larger discounts to make even higher profits.

Storm Multi-Media Technologies UK Ltd, is one of only a few businesses and companies out there in the UK (Yes, only in the UK), where we put the Customer first.  Whereas, somewhere along the way, many companies and businesses have this crazy idea that they actually believe in putting themselves first and the Customer last.  If the Company is happy, then the Customer is happy, right?  Wrong.

Offically, Storm Multi-Media Technologies UK Ltd will begin trading on February 28th 2011, with a one month blanket campaign that will give you all the details that you need to check us out.  If you are happy with our prices and our services, then tell your friends. If you’re happy, then we’re happy.
