    :confused:Yahoo! as a company is going through turbulence. While the company, now in its 15 years with us, still standing, competition is great and it seems increasingly difficult to move forward. Maybe that's why, when asked if they would accept bids from other companies, the CEO Carol Bartz replied with an emphatic: "Absolutely. Any company at the right price.

    During the interview with CNBC in which he made this statement, Bartz also admitted that if it had been his decision at the time, had accepted Microsoft's offer to buy the company for $ 36 dollars a share. However, Yahoo! and Microsoft are now linked by Bing, who now gets a good percentage of company revenue.
