Not Mac related but still important… Reuters is reporting that Microsoft has once again approached Yahoo!, asking the Sunnyvale based search portal and content destination to come to the table and negotiate a friendly takeover by Microsoft. The same report values Yahoo! at $50 billion; the interest by Microsoft is said to be serious to the point that world renowned bankers Goldman Sachs are advising Microsoft on the deal.
Update: The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the deal is off:
…the merger discussions are no longer active, these people say. The two companies may still explore other ways of cooperating.
