By Matt Van Hoven 

The New York Times reported today about the latest step in the Google/Yahoo ad-search deal. The two Web giants are holding back on starting their highly-anticipated project, which will place Google ads with some Yahoo search results.

The stall is meant to allow the Justice Department to do a cavity search, and make sure there aren’t any balloons filled with the powdery white substance known as anti-trust.
