Jerry Yang said that the deal isn't required to pass regulatory muster but that both Google and Yahoo have agreed to delay implementation for three months while the Department of Justice takes a look at it.
Well how fucking nice of him.
Hopefully they give him the ban hammer

Yahoo President Sue Decker suggested that Yahoo wouldn't allow Google to monetize the most common commercial search terms but rather use Google, with its greater advertiser demand, to help monetize the less popular search terms for which Yahoo has less advertiser demand.

Bullmotherfuckingshit...
I can't wait to see this... I'm calling this last statement out as BULLSHIT
 
I have mixed feelings on this one. Yahoo is stuck between to giants. I think Microsoft was trying to be too forceful, so it was right to resist. On the other hand, Yahoo is now depending the #1 company to stay afloat, and helping the #1 company stay on top. How are we going to have strong #2s and #3s, etc. ?
 
Outlook: This deal doesn't get approved. Ichan gets his way. Yahoo has to go crawling back to MS.
 
Yahoo And Google will never Partnering Up but Msn and yahoo could be.

Boy your the smart one out of the bunch, I'm pretty sure Forbes, CNN, and the other major news stories didn't all make the same mistake by saying the deal between Microsoft and Yahoo fell through but the deal between Google and Yahoo is going ahead.
 
Asked my AdWords rep if there will be an opt-out box for Yahoo traffic, she said she doesn't know yet but nothing is happening for a few months until the deal is reviewed.

Google is pushing their luck with a deal like this right on the heels of their Doubleclick acquisition.
