It'll be interesting to see Microsoft take debt on their balance sheet. It's one of the companies that has had so much of internal resources in the past that it never has had to take on any debt.

Anyways, I hope this deal doesn't go through. I wouldn't want to be uploading photos to Flickr Live or checking my emails on Yahoo Live Mail.

lets see how pathetic is the first quarter earnings report of yahoo...


and google doesnt have the cash to buy yahoo and also there will be monopoly issues for google if it buys yahoo
A company doesn't need cash to buy another one. Ever heard of debt financing?

Also, you're one brave person to predict the death of a company. Brave isn't necessarily smart on all occasions, though.

If I tell you that I'll pay you 100 rupees for your computer worth 130 rupees, and if you ask me for 120 rupees, would you be greedy?
