Yahoo! and Microsoft talks fall through once again
Alright, we're so over this, guys. Either somebody buys somebody or they don't, but we can't stand all the drama and the grandstanding and the hurt feelings. Microsoft won't pay $33 a share anymore, Yahoo's shares are down, Icahn is on a rampage -- when did this stop being fun?
Yahoo willing to reopen talks, was just kidding around about $37
After the beating the company is taking in the stock market, and with several prominent investors stepping forward to express dissatisfaction with how things were handled, Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang says he was willing to discuss things further if Microsoft hadn't turned its back on the offer. "We did not say it was a take-it-or-leave-it number in the sense that we would never negotiate any more," he said, referring to the $37 figure. "We were totally willing to do a transaction, and they walked away." Deep down we know he's just miffed to be missing out on sleeping bag to sleeping bag discussions with Ballmer about adding an exclamation mark to Microsoft. Dream on, Yang.[Via Silicon Valley Insider]Update: Microsoft claims "we've moved on."
