With the number of times this rumor keeps appearing, in my experience it's that a certain investment banking group knows that they could have a big payday and thinks if they whisper it enough it can become a reality.
The obstacles to merging these two companies effectively would be challenging and would likely divert energy that could be spent innovating or executing.
Apparently, the richest man in the world can't even buy himself a clue nowadays.
Someone should take the Post and WSJ to task on this. Who got rich of this b.s. rumor? The Post and WSJ got played. So much for their sources
I think I hear something... Oh just the sound of a few hundred thousand Yahoo users changing their home page.
John, no one is changing their homepage over this news and you are not witty.
Rumors... Rumors... It all makes for interesting reading.. But will it ever happen?
