Big companies are really gearing up in their quest for world domination. Eating up smaller companies is just one easy way of doing it.

Not content with indexing, searching, and storing information (and your search history) and serving ads, Google is about to acquire RSS distribution company FeedBurner for US$100 million (FeedBurner has raised US$10 million in capital).

That’s big moolah. But small change if your goal is world domination.

Anyway, Google has launched an online security blog, making people speculate that Google is going into the security business (online security, at least). Heck, the first blog post revealed that they have an anti-malware team for a year now.

Will Google acquire another company for this? Or will it build its own? And should Microsoft be threatened?

Speaking of Microsoft, it says it has all the tools that it needs to enter the ads business, with its recent acquisition of aQuantive for US$6 billion. It seems that Microsoft is ready to take on Google’s leadership in the Web ads business.

US$6 billion???? For an ads company? Small change for world domination, indeed.
