QUOTE SEATTLE — Microsoft Corp. may go hostile in its bid for Yahoo Inc. as soon as today, according to a published report. Citing unnamed people familiar with the matter, the Wall Street Journal reported early today that the world's largest software maker may be preparing to go straight to Internet pioneer Yahoo's shareholders. An announcement was "likely" to come today, according to the report, though the newspaper said its sources cautioned that Microsoft may delay. Chief Executive Steve Ballmer told employees in a company assembly Thursday that he knows how much he'd spend to buy Yahoo and accelerate his company's Internet play. "We're willing to pay for that at some level, and beyond that level we're not willing to pay for it. I know exactly what I think Yahoo is worth to me," the executive said. "I won't go a dime above, and I will go to what I think it's worth if that gets the deal done." But he didn't offer a figure, and he didn't say whether Microsoft is considering raising its unsolicited bid, worth $44.6 billion at the time it was made in early February. sounds like this could get interesting... |

Yeah I saw this on CNN the other day
Looks like Microsoft is going to continue to monopolize. -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
