MS board mulls Yahoo options
MICROSOFT’S BOARD met yesterday (Wednesday) to examine the company's options in the never-ending saga of its bid for Yahoo, says the New York Times.
The paper quotes an unnamed MS source who claims one possibility discussed is an increased offer of up to $33 a share, despite long, loud protestations from CEO Steve Ballmer that not now, not ever, never, would the Vole's original offer be raised from its current value of around $29.
Although Yahoo is on record as saying it is not fundamentally opposed to a sale to MS, it has always maintained that the offer price was too low.
Microsoft's bid was originally valued at $44.6 billion, but because the offer was a mixture of stock and cash, it has since dropped to less than $42 billion due to a fall in MS' share price.
Spokespersons for all parties involved remain tight-lipped, reports the Times. µ

Google even has a special version of their search for research papers. I fail to see how Google has turned evil, or why everyone is so scared of them having any personal data. They were the only ones to even disagree with the Federal Government's violation of the fourth amendment. Google even had people laughing at them for trying to fight it in court.

I'm all for competitors, except Microsoft. They've proven over and over that they want to warp everything to revolve around their little universe (forcing you to pay $100-$200/yr for their software). I cannot think of a single standard that they have dealt with for more than a couple years and haven't tried to hijack or replace. To top things off, their versions are almost always worse.
Now that Google has turned evil, there needs to be as many competitors as possible for websearching.

Just try and find a free PDF of a particular research paper using Google. Just recently, it's got pretty tricky, but Yahoo! Works! Just! Fine! Google has broken Google Scholar too. Pretty much all the results link to dodgy pay-sites.
(Evil bastards!)
HOT, HOT News. 5:45 EDT
Steve "d'Emballmer" Ballmer was seen leaving YAHOO HQ Yesterday at 3PM. Next Msr. Ballmer scheduled Employee Conference at Microsoft for today at 9AM Pacific Daylight Time(US). Until 9AM there, NO actual decision on what will be told employees of Microsoft will be. Some Guesstimates are $35 per share & certain Laying Off of certain Employees.XXX. Microsoft has 70,000 worker Ants & Yahoo less than 20,000. So who'll WIN?+

No doubt "Can an ANT Move Rubber Tree Plant" be most discussed.
