Yahoo board to decide on Microsoft's offer today

The Google thing is ludicrous, it would never be approved. If Google is trying to block a Microsoft and Yahoo merge, and that represents less than half the marketplace, how could a Google and Yahoo mix pass anti trust? Total bs in order to up the Microsoft bid. A combination of Microsoft and Yahoo is good for advertisers and good for employees of both, at least in search. New leadership is needed though, neither gang is that bright or innovative enough to seriously tackle Google. It's amazing the Yahoo folks can screw in a light bulb.

I have to disagree with your analysis Nick. Even the sleeping dog Bush-administration Justice department would have to intervene if the player with 70% of the search market got another 15% through acquisition. Never gonna happen.

The story about outsourcing search to Google was simply floated to shake a little more money out of Grandpa Moneybags. I didn't think you would fall for it.

These two companies need each other. Of course this is going through.
