Yahoo: Icahn “Manipulates The Facts”

,----[ Quote ]
| The company also says it is “patently untrue” that the company turned down an 
| offer of $40 a share from Microsoft and sabotaged the later offer of $33. The 
| letter contends that Yahoo’s board “has at all times been focused on 
| maximizing shareholder value.”

Yahoo, Microsoft talks could end next week--source

,----[ Quote ]
| Last month, Microsoft said it renewed talks with Yahoo about an alternative 
| transaction after withdrawing its $47.5 billion offer for the Internet 
| company.  
| 
| Microsoft's alternative proposal to Yahoo involves buying Yahoo's search 
| business and taking a minority stake in what remains of the company after 
| Yahoo sells off its Asian assets, another source told Reuters earlier.

People don't care about Yahoo anymore. They do Google, so Microsoft buys a
dying fish.

Inventor of Pine e-mail prepares for shift to Google

,----[ Quote ] 
| The University of Washington's technology staff demonstrated in 1989 what 
| smart thinking and creativity can accomplish when it developed the Pine 
| e-mail system, which quickly became widely adopted outside the university.  
| 
| But the Seattle-based university recently announced a plan to reduce its IT 
| staff by 66 employees, 15 percent of its total, and part of the reason is due 
| to a shift in how its users are now getting services, such as e-mail.

Linus still uses Pine. The creator/inventor of E-mail uses Thunderbird.
