But the situation is still fluid and could change. Earlier today MSFT CEO Steve Ballmer was also making a case of backing out of the bid, if the need comes.

Kind of reminds me of some group of war monger individuals that wants to take over the world. I beleave his name was Hitler and his gang of butt-wipes. They finally got to big for their britches too and crashed and burned. The grass for them wasn’t nesserally greener for those folks on the other side of the hill either. The bigger they are the harder they fall. Time is the factor here.  “D”

I read on Yahoo that Microsoft had abandoned their attempt to takeover Yahoo..Guess its good for us, the more competition among these big guns, the better they will serve the common people.
