This is a preview article that isn't even 2 paragraphs long and requires subscription to read the whole thing. How did this make the front page?

How frustrating. I only posted because I saw the full article - WSJ must detect certain referrers and show the full text if linked from certain sites. Paywalls suck.

Here's the Reuters version (not behind a paywall): http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/22/us-google-yahoo-id...

Agreed, pure speculation with little chance of getting through regulatory approvals.

Is this what the WSJ publishes to draw in weekend readers who are mostly unfamiliar with the tech space?

0% chance FTC allows Google to buy them.

this is linkbait..FTC will not allow Google or Microsoft ot buy Yahoo..in fact both MS and Google have discuss before how they were handcuffed by FTC considerations about this
