Big news, Google plans to use its power for the dark side.  It seems that they are taking a five percent stake in AOL and will start giving AOL and its parent company, Time Warner's properties preerentail placing in their search listings.  Hard to believe that they would violate what people consider to be a “pure” search for this deal!  Maybe now, people will not see Google as the answer to everything!
