America Online, Google Seal $1B Deal

http://apnews.myway.com//article/200...D8EKD0RG0.html

Given my love for all things Google, and my intense dislike for anything related to AO-Hell, I really hope this isn't the beginning of Google becoming teh suck...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - America Online on Tuesday agreed to sell a 5 percent stake to Google Inc. (GOOG) in a $1 billion deal that deepens the ties binding two of the Web's most popular sites while thwarting Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)'s efforts to grab a larger piece of the booming Internet advertising market.

Many of the details, including a plan that may display more graphical ads on Google's traditionally sparse Web pages, had been leaked to the media in the last few days. None of the so-called banner ads will appear on Google's home page or alongside its primary search results.

Noooooooooo!

It's the ultimate mixture of good and evil! I predict catastrophic cosmic events will be linked to this unholy merging.

This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions!

What do you mean "biblical"?

What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor. Real wrath of God type stuff! Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!

Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, and volcanos!

The dead rising from the grave!

Human sacrifices, dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

Worked well in Ghostbusters...works equally well here.

Think of it this way. Google is the lesser evil compared to Microsoft.

The good news, Mocrosoft still hasn't gotten it's grubby mitts on Netscape!

Thwarted again!
