Some news (in case you dont know already) In an attempt to fight Google which is growing 3 to 4 times faster than Microsoft and yahoo, Microsoft may buy Yahoo for no less than 50 Billions! The complete story can be found here: http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/070504/yahoo_microsoft.html?.v=9 cheeers.

Hey you haaaaaave 999 Posts be very carefull where and what to post in your 1000th Post on Digitalpoint, Congratulation
thanks ...lol...i've been trying to get to 1000...and i didn't even notice when i got there tonight...lol...oops
that's a nice milestone! unfortunately i have already crossed!! anyways, microsoft has plans to buy, but i don't think yahoo has any plans to sell out! perhaps a partnership they may be willing to get in
Google handled 54% of U.S. searches in March, according to Nielsen//NetRatings. Yahoo handled 22% and Microsoft handled 10%
yahoo is a publically traded company...and i don't think (notice i'm guessing) the owner holds a majority vote in the stock...so it's really not up to him... (by the way...anyone know who the owner is...i couldn't seem to find it...)...i know Jerry Yang and David Filo are the founders..but it doesn't say if they still own it...
Me too, haven't seen this on DP... anyway, that's some kinda cool news. Just in case they got Yahoo, then that would be a more interesting battle with G!
