TechCrunch is reporting an interesting faux-pas with Yahoo's new partnership with McAfee where certain search terms will show up competitor Google as a site to be cautious over.

Whether a joke by Yahoo or simply a confirmation on how good McAfee is yet to be seen :)

According to the Wall Street Journal, Yahoo is ready to formally announce a deal to incorporate Google AdWords into its search results within the week! The deal could be used alongside its on ad system to feature the most lucrative ads against any given search.

The overriding concern with a deal such as this would be Anti-Trust laws, although analysts say it would be no different than with AOL/Ask

From here.

Microsoft is leaning toward a hostile attempt to acquire Yahoo, the Wall Street Journal reported, saying an announcement is likely to arrive Friday.

The newspaper said the situation is fluid, though, its Thursday night report. Translation: The paper is giving itself a lot of wiggle room.
