    And with the rumors google might buy AOL and YAHOO!; yes YAHOO! they will undoubtedly run the internet.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but is there something negative about this?

    Oh no. I would love to see Google buy AOL; they could do some great things to a service that desperately needs it. I still believe AOL is great for certain people, namely the people that only can handle a mac but Google could easily change that.

    I would also love to see them buy Yahoo! and/or release a national internet service.

    But if this does happen I see a lot of good things and a lot of bad. I would imagine Google changing the internet for the better but there will be people in the future who will hate Google that earlier loved them because know they would be a monopoly. And worst case scenario it might create stagnation in innovation similar to ms.
