biz.yahoo.com — It is unfortunate that Yahoo! has not embraced our full and fair proposal to combine our companies. Based on conversations with stakeholders of both companies, we are confident that moving forward promptly to consummate a transaction is in the best interests of all parties.

lol, what a noob. Yahoo Messenger merged with MSN to create the second largest instant messaging platform.Yahoo's Merchant services power something like 20% of ALL online stores. You've probably used it and don't even realize. If you don't want to count acquisitions, then your precious Google really doesn't look that much more "innovative." Outside of search and maybe GMail, most of their other things are acquisitions. Google Docs, Google Earth, Google Maps, Blogger, Google Groups, Orkut, YouTube, Feedburner, Jaiku, Picasa and even Android are all acquired products. Google has just gotten into the practice of renaming things like Keyhole to Google Earth and making you think they invented them.Exactly. Google's main innovation is how to convince 80% of the internet that they're regular joe innovators looking out for the small guy while fighting the good fight to the point that so many nerds jizz their pants every time they do a search on google. When in reality there a huge corporation looking out solely for the bottom line, slandering their competition publicly, using the courts to gain market share, gobbling up massive amounts of smaller projects and slapping their name on them etc...Bassically everything people complain about MS for, Google is doing twice as much these days. MS at present is probably doing more for the small guy than Google is.

um no because they are becoming a beast larger than microsoft, and a much more widespread one. they mine data, and theyre intigrating into every aspect of everything thats popular. phones, cars (google maps etc), television, everything.
