&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Judgment on Dec. 4, 2008:&lt;/b&gt;  In a rare moment, the community actually got this one wrong.  Based on recent news reports, it has been revealed that the &lt;a href=&quot;http://amlawdaily.typepad.com/amlawdaily/2008/12/hogans-litvack.html&quot;&gt;deal was scrapped&lt;/a&gt;, &amp;quot;...just three hours before the Department of Justice planned to file antitrust charges to block the pact, according to the lawyer who would have been lead counsel for the government.&amp;quot;  Judged at 100%, for having &amp;quot;faiied regulatory muster&amp;quot; per the prediction&#039;s intent.  -- The Industry Standard &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Those companies have publicly stated that they don&#039;t believe regulatory approval is necessary, but that in a show of good faith they intend to seek it prior to the commencement of activities under the deal.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a prediction that the partnership deal will be thrown out by the DoJ and/or FTC.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There has been some recent movement in this story &lt;a href=&quot;/news/2008/06/19/house-leaders-plan-hearing-google-yahoo-deal&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.  This prediction will be judged after Yahoo and Google officially receive the blessing of the U.S. federal government. &lt;/p&gt;
