TechCrunch.com has pretty much quashed this story with some keen analysis. I trust their reasoning over some British publication, miles away.

Anit-trust anyone? The FTC shoiuld block this deal. I don't care about your Yahoo stock either. The last thing we need is less diversity....so Obama should block this deal.

DID CARL ICAHN CREATE THIS STORY OR DID HE KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON, IN ADVANCE?

The SEC should investigate Icahn's recent purchase of 6.8 million shares for an average of $9.92/shares. In this volatile market and out of all of the stocks that have been battered, why would he buy $67 million worth of Yahoo stock unless he was privy to this prospective deal before it was published? Something smell rotten here, in my opinion.

I just hope this deal does not mess up the stock data that I get from Yahoo. I depend on being able to download and analyze stock prices and dividends to help me make investment decisions.

I guess the powers that be feel that feeding the Microsoft monopoly is more competitive than feeding Google. I am not sure this is the outcome that will be most beneficial for the consumer. Why did I think a Bush run administration would care about the consumer?
