Thinking that a change with adwords is news is not something you can take credit for. Adwords has been based on fraud since the very beginning. Google has not said anything because they were making money like wildfires burning out west. The changes are because the first law suit has been handed down and they need to fix adwords before the flood gates open and everyone who ever purchased advertising from them asks for their money back. As far as microsoft buying google, 300 a share is insane for microsoft to purchase, but maybe they know something that will happen to the stock if more lawsuits are filed. Remember Microsoft's last big online purchase (Hotmail) has not really turned into the big money maker they thought it would be.

net-finder, interesting combination of quasi-insults and moot points you make there.

First of all, I didn't just think there was a change coming with Adwords, I predicted it in advance, in public. I'm not taking credit for the change at all since I do not now work with Google and had nothing to do with it.

You state categorically that the change was inspired by some desire to close the flood gates of potential claimants etc etc... Since I was chastised for purporting to know things about the inner workings of Google, I feel it is my duty to ask how you could possibly know what inspired these changes? Note that it is is sufficient for me to know that you acknowledge there has been a change, since that is what I predicted in advance of it happening.

As for MS buying Google. They already tried before... it isn't as outlandish as you might think. I don't think costs are the main or only obstacle in the way of the move either... competition law is probably a bigger barrier. Time will tell if this prediction turns out to be true too... I just hope some of the more critical posters will come back in around a years time when it turns out to be true and ackowledge is was correct in the prediction.
