It's not just the last tick on a screen.
One of these days:
China buys Google
Google announced the transfer of 140m shares of Class B stock to a new entity owned by the Chinese Ministry of Information in typically forthright style. The news was disclosed in a Captcha graphic on its Google Canteen Menu weblog; investors had to click a hidden link to see the announcement, and then decode a stenographically-hidden message watermarked into the JPG file. Once decrypted, the message read: gee it's raining here in mountain view and my cats hungry so we thought we'd better update you on our corporate finances. we've sold out to china. have a great weekend boo-yah!! lol
No other details were forthcoming.

From The Register
The CNOOC bid for Devon's Africa assets was covered by MarketWatch quoting a 36 word teaser from the South China Morning Post. To my knowledge no other media had it.
