More rumors. If Yahoo does win Facebook, that'd be quite a coup, even at $2 billion, I'd warrant. But, Google has a way of swooping in at the last minute and winning the deal. If Google bought Facebook, would that be a shark-jumping move? Would that be Google simply…

Google has a voracious appetite for parallel computing power, and that’s Peakstream’s business. My bet is that the company plans to use Peakstream’s software internally. I think it’s also possible that Peakstream will continue to operate and to make its middleware available to customers. So if I were Peakstream competitor RapidMind, I wouldn’t uncork the champagne just yet. RapidMind’s lives just got either a whole lot easier or a whole lot tougher.

Salesforce and Google will be starting an extended partnership encompassing marketing and distribution of their products across 43 countries. It will begin with the integration of Google Adwords and Salesforce’s lead generation tools into a new application called “Group Edition”, available here. Group edition replaces Salseforces earlier version Team edition.

Businesses will handle their Adwords campaigns through Google, as usual, but Salesforce takes over from there. When potential customers click through to the businesses site, Google tells Salesforce what search terms brought the user to the page and where they navigate throughout the site.
