    Well, even Metallica sold out, I don't guess I can blame the Google folks for wanting to cash in. I wonder how long it will take for Microsoft to cripple the search engine with annoying ads and "premium content" though.

  2. Google Opening Themselves To Takeover by tilleyrw · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    1. If Google offers stock to the public, Microsoft can buy it.

    2. If Microsoft buys sufficient stock to constitute majority, they will control Google.

    3. Microsoft is sitting on billions in _cash_ reserves.

    Q.E.D. Microsoft will assimilate Google.

    It's spelled MS, with an "S." When you use a dollar sign instead of an S, you'll just make yourself look like a jackass.
