Today Google has released a statement on their Public Policy Blog admitting that they've been in ongoing talks with the FTC for weeks. This week the FTC even went so far as to make a "second request" for more detailed information on the deal.
The bottom line is that deal isn't done, nor is it a sure thing, though Google still anticipates it to be completed eventually.
