Think you're out of luck, Robert -- I would be very surprised if this deal
doesn't happen. The only thing that could potentially knock it off the
rails would be anti-trust concerns, and even there Google is already 75 per

When it comes to Web properties, News Corp. only has MySpace really -- and
IAC isn't in the same league as Micro-hoo or Google, I don't think.
