Microsoft bids $44.6-billion for Yahoo

Already owning an assload of Yahoo stock would be the only good thing I could think of too. Especially when I saw it was already trading at a nice premium this morning.

Not only hard for the board to pass on, but makes it hard for anyone else who might have been thinking of making a pass at Yahoo to jump into the middle now. At least not anyone without enough money to push back hard on a 62% over bid.

I agree, Doc, it's like everyone is trying to clone that perfect cow.
Eventually it'll all wind up tasting the same.
