So Yahoo! finally turns its attention to the Middle East, and buys up Maktoob, in a deal that might be worth as much as $100m (although Techcrunch says $85m, other sources $75m)
The big Yahoo! standoff may not have gone quite as smoothly as it first appeared
Yahoo! looks to have taken the 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer' approach, and given Carl Icahn and a couple of his accomplices seats on the Yahoo! board
After promising to say no more about a possible Yahoo! bid until after the next Yahoo! board meeting, Microsoft has attempted a smash-and-grab raid for Yahoo's search business
The takeover-deal-that-won't-die took yet another lurch from the grave yesterday, as Icahn and Ballmer ganged up on poor Chief Yahoo! Jerry Yang again, and announced that Microsoft might still be interested in buying Yahoo! or bits of Yahoo! so long at the current board gets the boot in August
