hahaha..it's a classic case of a break-up between couples after engagement prior to marriage (mating)

google is the maker and breaker of this relation.

as i see this, it's a deadlock for now for any chance of revival of bidding for a re-mating season.  however, the prospect cannot be denied.

--yahoo's stock took a beating monday, but it's not as bad as many analysts have anticipated. microsoft may have to rethink their strategy.
(so what if she got rejected? she is still hot in the market)

--if yahoo management fails to improve the company's fortunes, and no other suitor emerges, another merger attempt cannot be denied and this time yahoo will embrace microsoft with open arms.

(i still got the blues for you, baby)

all in all the merger is still very likely in the long run.


recent news says that jerry yang of yahoo hinted he would be prepared to reopen talks if microsoft has anything new to say. it would be interesting to see how microsoft play its moves now.

sometimes the best of the dealings are those that are not done.
