With its multibillion-dollar Yahoo merger bid yanked from the table, the Microsoft chairman said at a Tokyo press conference on Wednesday that the software giant has no immediate plans to jump on another deal.
Microsoft announced on Sunday afternoon it has issued another proposal to Yahoo that calls for a transaction with the company but would not involve the acquisition of all of its assets.
Microsoft's US$44.6bn bid to buy Yahoo could backfire if not executed properly, according to analysts -- but the phenomenal price may be worth paying to fend off the challenge from Google.
update: In its largest acquisition yet, Google has agreed to pay $3.1 billion in cash for online ad company DoubleClick, the companies announced on Friday.
In line with an international hiring binge, Google is ramping up its presence in Australia and the surrounding region, with a temporary region representative and operations manager for Oceania among several positions on offer.
