MicroHoo: Stop Them Before They Publicly Negotiate Again!
Oh dear, one endless, screwed-up global airline ride without Internet connectivity and when I finally manage to get online (looking right at the Spanish Steps in Rome-sweeeeet!), BoomTown finds that a new round o' MicroHoo is apparently on again.
(In the immortal words of Michael Corleone-see video below-in the otherwise awful "Godfather: Part III": "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!")
Except judging from exactly how loud the loudmouthed chatter from a trio of Microsoft execs has become-the latest being COO Kevin Turner-it's actually not.
Because, if there were real and substantial talks going on right now between Yahoo (YHOO) and Microsoft (MSFT) about a new deal to partner, of course, you likely would not hear a peep from them.
Nonetheless, Turner is the third exec from the software giant to mention that Microsoft would love to play let's-make-a-deal with Yahoo-not to necessarily go back and swallow it whole, a deal that the Yahoo would would now do in a New York minute, but related to its search assets.
