For those who haven’t been following the business news, Microsoft made a bid to acquire Yahoo recently (rejected), and since then Microsoft has been making moves to deliberately assassinate Yahoo’s stock price, while also trying to force a hostile takeover over one of the Internet’s first big-time companies and websites.  At the same time, Jerry Yang (Yahoo co-founder) re-took the reigns of Yahoo as CEO and has been re-positioning the company’s business while also protecting Yahoo from a hostile take-over.  The press, depending on what you’ve read, has been saying otherwise.

The entire situation can be found here in a NY Times article with Jerry Yang.

Lol I’m surprised Yahoo has folded yet. What’s going to happen now?


Isn’t what the Mr. Ihcan guy did mutiny? Haha I mean he went behind everyone’s back to try and sabotage Yahoo.


Hahahaha! I don’t think it matters but since Yahoo knows he’s probably fired or something.
