The biggest news to come out yesterday is that Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo. Microsoft wants Yahoo so bad, they’ve offered $44.6 Billion which is about #31 per share. No doubt, this could be good news for Yahoo which is already set to lay off about 1000 employees.
I find it amazing that Microsoft actually made this bid. Even if the shareholders for the companies agree to this, I cannot see anyway that the US and EU anti-trust lawyers would allow this. Huge company acquiring another huge company. Yeah, that has anti-trust written all over it. I’d expect Google to voice concerns.
