Yahoo Rejects Microsoft Search Offer

mytrip writes to mention a Financial Times article detailing Microsoft's apparent interest in Yahoo!, and Yahoo!'s rude reaction to their interest. From the article: "The fight is on between the three internet search titans, after Yahoo's Terry Semel laid down the gauntlet to Microsoft saying the software giant's recently elevated ambitions in the search arena were a lost cause. 'My impartial advice to Microsoft is that you have no chance. The search business has been formed,' he said in an interview with the New Yorker's Ken Auletta."

    Yeah, kick in the head huh? I thought democrats didn't like violence? I thought we have to be "tolerant" of others and their views, because as you know... all democrats are tolerant of EVERYONE... except Republicans. That's funny your party preaches that, but are among the first to throw rocks at a peace rally. Why turn a tech forum into a political arena? Another example of a miss guided, angry at the world liberal. Snoogins! Jason

    A kick in the head huh? I thought the Democratic party preached "acceptance" and "open-mindedness", yet are among the first to throw rocks at a peace rally. It's always been my understanding the liberal left is tolerant of EVERYONE, except Republicans. The Democratic party will accept a child molester, but condemn a person that votes for the GOP. I wish more people saw the HUGE double standard the Dems bring out. Another example of a mindless, misguided liberal. WAIT!!! THIS IS A TECH FORUM!! DON'T TURN IT INTO A POLITICAL ARENA!!!
