Well, probably because - if it's approved - we can expect a monster bash, as Microsoft-Yahoo faces off against Google.

And, in fact, that article in Crain's New York Business wonders whether Google might then try to acquire AOL, thereby adding even further to its status as the reigning megamonster.

We do live in interesting times...
