And you thought playing Risk over the holidays was exciting! In the greatest game of tech world domination, Microsoft has been holding secret "Screw Google" meetings, according to Sam Gustin at Daily Finance:

"The meetings are part of an ongoing campaign by Microsoft (MSFT), other Google (GOOG)
opponents, and hired third parties to discredit the Web search leader,
according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter.

'Microsoft is at the center of a group of companies who see Google as a
threat to them in some combination of business and policy,' said a
source familiar with the matter, who requested anonymity to avoid
retribution. "The effort is designed make Google look like the big
high-tech bad guy here.'"

What do you think? Will Google retaliate by mobilizing the body-painted hordes at Burning Man to crash these meetings? That would be pretty awesome. To read more on Microsoft's "Google death panel" go to DailyFinance.com.
