Why Microsoft Wants to Buy Google

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the break-out-the-foil-hats dept.

xihr writes "Harry Fletcher writes in The Inquirer about an obvious discrepancy between searches for "linux windows" on Google and MSN; the former comes up with almost 9 million hits, but the latter only comes up with -- wait for it -- 16. The author then speculates on Microsoft's ulterior motives for their attempted (and failed) purchase of Google."

  2. INVASION OF IRAQ BY AMERICAN FORCES HAS BEGUN!!! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard this on CNN. I don't know if it's true...but the report sounded credible.

    US forces have begun a full ground assault on the soverign, peace-loving nation of Iraq. This attack (there is no other word for it) comes completely unprovoked and is totally unsantioned by the UN secretary general: Coffee Anin.

    I pray this report is false. But_if_accurate, this is the first major war of the 21st century and the first use of massive US ground forces since Vietnam. Truley a stunning development. I pray for the servicemen and women, but am awed by the sheer audacity of our country to be the first to rape and pillage such a beautiful and neutral country like Iraq.

    Shameful.

    p.s. -- I feel it only fair to warn you that modding the parent up will just give me more points to troll you later.

    Hi, I'm Darl McBride. In the end, it's going to be $690 I take out of your backside. But don't worry -- my associate, Chris Sontag, will also be putting something back in again.
