It's all idle chat. This would be a deal made morons, but that wouldn't really matter. The DOC would finally have grounds to bust them both directly, and hold Google liable indirectly. No way even the business management morons leading both Yahoo and AOL will be allowed to let it go through by Google plus the DOC - an unusual pair of bedmates, agreed.

Google will win, with or without this deal going through. AOL is now as they've been for years Google's single biggest source of search revenue. AOL will not leave Google as their custom Search Engine builder.

I've said nothing about tech expertise at either Yahoo or AOL. I've call their managements desperate morons, and that's all.

Coming from TechCrunch, it's probably just another digg-being-bought-oh-wait-its-not story. Stephen's Bernstein source is much more compelling against the merger/buyout than its likely to happen. however, AOL doesn't have a good track record for teaming up with good partnerships, and it would likely mark the end of the Yahoo! era such as the case with Netscape.
