google "wins" the aol sweepstakes
a smiling larry page, back when he still had some integrity
the past few weeks have seen a quiet bidding war between three major companies: yahoo, google and microsoft. the prize? aol. things heated up when yahoo declared itself out of the competition. finally, today the announcement was made: google wins. but is it a win at all? for one billion dollars, they get a 5% stake in aol--and in return they agree to to meet aol's yucky demands. we'll find out more after the weekend, but things may be very different on the internet from here on out.
