The Deal with Dr. Evil:

Bill Gates famously announced on Charlie Rose a number of years ago that the one man he feared above all others was Rupert Murdock. So guess who's coming to dinner at the campus in the great northwest? That's right, you got it.

Microsoft is going to pay Mr. I-intend-to-control-the-world's-media to prevent Google from searching Murdock's content, allowing Bing sole access.

Is this the future of newsprint revenue? One set of billionaires paying another billionaire, with us left to decide what's fair and balanced?
