Yahoo is temporarily running some tests (no more than 3 percent of searches) using Google’s AdSense as the advertising platform. This does not mean that Yahoo will be permanently using AdSense, yet. They may be doing it to get that bid up and piss off Microsoft (who has been trying to acquire Yahoo), apparently that worked because Microsoft is trying to pull the “antitrust” card on them…and lets be real, that’s just ironic :).
