i personally thought the war was already declared, shot and won.

I wonder why they linked it to Yahoo! Nothing in the story indicates why Yahoo! - not M$ or the world in general - has been Google's target.

And why now? the whole thing makes no sense.

Reuters used to hire people with brains - now, I'm not so sure!
