A couple months back, Yahoo! signed an agreement to be acquired by Microsoft.  However, as of this past Saturday, the two have not come to terms.  Basically, Yahoo didn’t like the aggresive terms that Microsoft set forth.  These terms are confidential, but most likely include Microsoft attaining rights to Yahoo’s pay-per-click advertising to better compete with Google.

Currently, the deadline was Saturday to wrap up negotiations.  Since they haven’t, the deal might not even happen at all.  Or Microsoft may perform a hasty takeover by wiping out the Yahoo team and bringing in its own Microsoft board for full authority.  While this battling continues, Google continue to chug along with its increasing stock price and top online advertising model.
