The rumour that Microsoft is looking to purchase Yahoo still persists and cropped up in business news as late as yesterday. Microsoft is perhaps looking to merge is fledgling MSN search engine with Yahoo's in order to compete heavily against Google. Business gurus see this as a very long shot, but from a financial standpoint, Microsoft can't lose from the acquisition. Google is launching a new video feature. Like other video services, you can opt to see a commercial before the video begins or, in Google's case, ends. So far, this is just the experimental stage, but Google hopes to cash in, so to speak, on the assumption that viewing videos of television shows will become more and more popular in the future.
