"While Bloomberg News takes a good amount of flack for yapping about a stone-cold Steve Jobs when it\u2019s well known that the man\u2019s blood is still rich and warm, another bigwig of the tech realm, Google CEO Eric Schmidt talked with the publication\u2019s reporters Peter Cook and Crayton Harrison about his company\u2019s fascination with Yahoo and the movements the two will make in the next 60 days. As Schmidt explains, Google \u201Cwill proceed with the agreement by early October.\u201D\nThe company\u2019s reasoning is stated equally simply. In reference to the U.S. Justice Department\u2019s interest in peering into the proposed Google-Yahoo search advertisement deal, which the two tested to the DOJ\u2019s very vocal irritation, Schmidt said, \u201CWe are in the process of talking to the government. They\u2019ve not indicated one way or the other how they\u2019re dealing with us.\u201D Indeed, the logic is very elementary. \u201CHey DOJ, while you\u2019re there giving what we see as your silent treatment, we\u2019re going to go ahead and start making more money, m\u2019kay? Kay.\u201D\nNaturally, Schmidt isn\u2019t totally gung-ho with an eye on its October non-surprise. \u201CWe always worry a little bit, but we think our arguments are pretty strong,\u201D is his response to\u00A0 judicial qualms over what some consider possibly imperialist tendencies by the \"Mad Men\" of Mountain View.\nMy take on this refresh of the dispute? Business is business, and if Google manages to pass go, well, who\u2019s to say no. Chances are DOJ won\u2019t remain silent \u2018til the autumn push, though. If anything, this is a straight reminder sent the way of regulators to recall that the matter has yet to be resolved completely. In a manner of speaking: Get to it, guv\u2019nors."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
