mapsedgeSince Microsoft gave up on trying to purchase Yahoo, somehow it makes it into the news that Google is now eyeing (or has been eyeing, I'm not sure on that point) Microsoft's former prey.

I shudder to think of the anti-trust issues that would raise (no, not really...) but what really gets me giggling is the possible name of the new company should the merger go through.
"Yaggle" would be bad enough. Me?
I'm voting for "Goo-Hoo!"

Date: 2008-05-13 14:12 (UTC)My work needs me to have better, faster connectivity than Time Warner can provide.
Time Warner wanted $279 A MONTH to deliver "up to" 1.5 M upload and "up to" 7 M download with their "Business Class". That is absurd.
Work is subsidizing me $130 a month to have the AT&T speed. So ordering all services they provide (except Playboy Channel) costs me out-of-pocket $40 a month.
The Internet "Max", which is the top end connection, runs $55 when paired with a TV package, according to pricing on their web site. Can't tell what it would run stand-alone.
