Also, those of you saying "Google is becoming a monopoly" need to grab a dctionary and look up the meaning of the word. If Google was buying every other search engine out there, then they'd be becoming a monopoly.

Online search-engine leader Google Inc. (GOOG) is preparing to introduce an electronic payment system later this year in a move that would pose a financial threat to one of its biggest advertisers, Internet auctioneer eBay Inc. (EBAY)
The merchants who run auctions on eBay are major buyers of Google's ads, which appear alongside search results.
