A little vague perhaps… Some kind of deal is near at hand regarding Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) writes BW’s Gene Marcial. What that something is remains unclear. According to the report, Yahoo is still in talks with Google (NSDQ: GOOG) and Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) on various deals, and though Ballmer said just last night that it had not rebid for Yahoo, an out-and-out sale is still possible. However, if Microsoft is only interested in buying the search part, as has been strongly hinted, then Yahoo might do its Google search deal, which it threatens to do about once per week.
