Google Search
iGoogle (Personalized Homepage)
Gmail (Google Mail)
Google Reader (gadget, on iGoogle)
Google Talk (Well.. not really.. but I have it)
Web History
YouTube
Google Maps

As for Microsoft buying Yahoo!, it won't happen.

I don't think it will happen but if it does this might be what happens.

MS will buy out Yahoo! the Bill Gates Way!

[list=1]
[*]Gates and a couple of the thugs will go to the head of Yahoo and say I want to buy you out.
[*]If the Yahoo! head accepts the next step will getting the thugs to trash the place.
[*]Then the Yahoo! head will say why and Bill Gates will reply "You think I got rich by writing cheques"
[/list]

To all those who say I stole this from The Simpsons I say: Yes I did!

Google > Yahoo!

Doesnt really matter to me except for the fact that I dont know what is going to happen to the Rogers Yahoo! stuff.

I never liked Yahoo!. Maybe it's too colourful and too bloated with text and images...

RE: Microsoft plans to buy Yahoo
Heh, felu, its in today's TOI as well :P

I think MS can buy yahoo out but that doesn't change the facts. Facts are that MS might be a leader in OS and other quite a few other software based fields at the moment but Google still outperforms them in the web and its not even a close battle. The web is the only place where Google leads Microsoft and it hurts them big time because the web is a huge source of income. Google has way better data centres anyway :P

Imo Google will still rule the web while MS tries to catch up. On the other hand, Google has no plans to go into the OS and other fields that MS has pretty much covered up with its dominance so MS is ahead there. I love google but I wouldn't mind at all working at MS :D In fact I'd love it :D
