Do your children a favor and go out and buy some Google stock while it is on sale. That is unless you think that Google, the Internet, Advertising and Youtube are just going to disappear.

It is final, Google (goog) has official one the search engine race. Some people might think they had already won it, but with the announcement from Yahoo today that it will begin running even more Google ads with it search results, it's over.

The only reason Google agreed to do it was to try and help Yahoo fight off the advances by Microsoft. Since Microsoft has now withdrawn from the offer (at least on paper), the basic reason for Google having to help Yahoo is no longer there. Also, WSJ report says that people at Google are worried about Google having to share advertising related data with Yahoo.

My take on the Google earnings beat and what it means about Google as a company and its future. Also, a look back at what caused the stock to shed 40% in value despite the fact that its business fundamentals have not changed.
