I think all of Scarlett Johansson's admirers out there (who probably amount to a quarter of the world's population, as far as I'm concerned) must have kept their fingers crossed and those prayers going for a long time, because their dreams seem to have finally come true: their favorite muse and one of ... |

As the weeks keep flying and nothing worthy of mentioning is happening after Yahoo! turned down Microsoft's unsolicited bid, rumors are starting to get leaked and suppositions made.

Don't think that after making a point by turning down Microsoft's unsolicited bid, Yahoo! is going to turn up a few aces from its sleeve. That's not going to happen any time soon and, furthermore, it is still playing the same seldom-winning card of taking over companies and then waiting to see which on... |

Yang has always had a rather informal approach to communication with his employees. That might be because Yahoo! is his baby and he can't just stiffen up and give up on so many years of his work and life, as Microsoft would have him do.

The attempt to create a viable competitor for Google that Microsoft initiated with its $31 per share offer on Friday had everybody very excited over the weekend.
