Microsoft moves forward:In the news:
Microsoft Offers To Pay News Corp To "De-List" Itself From Google
Microsoft wants to pay News Corp and other large publishers to de-list their Web sites from Google's search index, the Financial Times reports.
The idea is to force Google to pay for content, thinning its currently fat margins.
What's next? Perhaps Microsoft will try and make the same kind of deal with
Gawker.com,
FreeCreditReport.com and
Stormfront.org.

Microsoft is playing Macrohard-ball. Maybe Google will Giggle rather than Gaggle.
