Yahoo, who are they? In Australia we rarely use yahoo. It just doesnt return good results. If microsoft buys yahoo then id have to say they are nuts. Go Google.

I concur! Icahn ruins everything he puts his greedy paws on. My father lost his retirement from TWA after 30 years of service.

Yahoo lives. Anti Matter will join forces with Yahoo. No need for Microsoft. Anti Matter will also join forces with Google. Anti Matter no longer friends with Facebook. Anti Matter has declared war on all those hold who do not hold to the belief “Fight the Collective. Resistance is not Futile”

@7 – apparently the little piece of code that translates domain names into full URLs just didn’t remove the . at the end of my sentence when adding a / at the end.

Thanks for the tip.

I kinda think the NYTimes or WashingtonPost should buy a piece of Yahoo. It almost makes too much sense.

U know, I am really a big fan of Yahoo, never quite got the hang of MSN or hot mail. but hey, business is business.

This game I hope will be over soon, as it will be good for start ups. Yahoo is too much danger for new start ups. Having Microsoft eat them for lunch is best. As the time it takes Microsoft to deal with stomach pains from a sour lunch, that should be just enough time to strike a large deposit of Hilium3. Say 6-12 months after start up.

What do you think is motivating Carl Icahn? He is worth $14.5 B and 72 years old. Do you think he is in for he money? He bought a position in Yahoo after Jerry Yang rebuffed Microsoft, Yahoo’s stock collapsed and the primary owners of Yahoo were furious.

The question we should be asking is what motivating Jerry Yang? He is worth $1.9 B and 39. His company is forecasting projections significantly above concensus estimates adn providing little detail on how to get there. Meanwhile pageviews are tracking down double digits.

It’s sad to see how deluded the commenters here are, but then again, even Jerry Yang has been shown to be a pawn in the game. Everyone here wants to believe in the Internet get-rich-quick scheme, all of these companies you worship have gotten rich from the money they took from Wall Street, and no one should be surprised when Wall Street comes calling.

Carl Icahn is the ugly and stupid version of Gordon Gekko.

Remember TWA, guys. That’s what he wants to do with Yahoo!.

Icahn doing what he does best, stir the pot, stir it some more, and then some more. I would hate to be a public company with this guy out there on the prowl.

@14 – Of course it’s slanted. Even “unbiased” news reporters slant their articles, and TechCrunch doesn’t purport to be unbiased. (At least, not that I’ve ever seen)

“Icahn doesn’t know what he’s started… he doesn’t understand Silicon Valley”

Shareholder value destruction can take place in Silicon Valley just like any place.
