Yahoo is in a rock and a hard-place.

When Yahoo switched to Google from Inktomi for search results, they really helped cemet Google as the new search King. Now the contract with Google is up for renewal.

Yahoo PAYS Google for results.

Inktomi is actually going to PAY Yahoo to provide results for pages searches.
Good old Ink is really up against the wall to sign Yahoo to a contract.

Also, Yahoo is trying to increase their own search traffic, so Google is a competitor.

Yahoo should have bought Google two years ago...now Google wants close to a billion or so I think...

It will be interesting to see what happens...Does anyone have any other info?
