This week, it was reported that Microsoft and Time Warner are in talks about some sort of buyout.<\/a> That makes sense, because it would be the fastest way for Microsoft to increase their market share of search, chat, and general internet standing. Google has provided search results for AOL since 2002, and if they can get a jump Google, they’d almost be crazy not to if the price was right. <\/p>\n
