Google - AOL

Google will pay $1 bln for 5 pct AOL stake: report

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Google Inc. (NasdaqNM:GOOG - News) plans to pay $1 billion for a 5 percent stake in Time Warner Inc.'s (NYSE:TWX - News) online unit AOL, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the situation.

Update:
Google Buying Stake in AOL for $1 Billion

"This is our dream come true," one source familiar with AOL and Time Warner's strategy said. "Our fates are intertwined."

hahahaha

The five-year deal gives Time Warner the choice of maintaining its 95 percent ownership stake in AOL, or keeping majority ownership while spinning off a portion of AOL to shareholders as a way of boosting its stock price.

hmmmm

Me (4:27:43 PM): thats how i like to think of it
dma(4:28:27 PM): hahahha

Me (4:28:42 PM): haha exactly
dma(4:28:44 PM): "you all work for aol! i work for google!"
dma(4:28:46 PM): hahaha

Or you can look at it as 5% of the time you spend at work is wasted ... I mean spent on Google and the remaining 95% is for AOL. I am willing to bet you're already spending at least 5% of your time on maintaining this blog (or related activities such as reading articles), which is hosted by Google.
