Rupert Murdoch has told investors at a US conference that News Corp is too small to fight Microsoft for Yahoo.
A month after Rupert Murdoch said News Corp is too small to compete for Yahoo, the media giant is teaming up with Microsoft in a joint take over bid for Yahoo, which would see MySpace brought into the mix.
After having snubbed Microsoft's initial takeover proposal, reports have indicated that Yahoo is still counting on the software giant to mount another acquisition bid, should its attempts to play the field backfire.
As Microsoft, AOL, News Corp dance to the smell of Yahoo's blood, Google's competitive threat has remained constant and if anything, looks stronger and more stable an option than before.
As Yahoo gears up to report its first quarter performance next week, one analyst predicts the Internet search pioneer may clock in at the lower end of its revenue range, while other analysts predict a buyout deal with Microsoft may be in the mix this week.
Friday's New York Post writes that an independent group of Yahoo board members believes Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang may be letting emotions trump his better judgment; and that's why he's opposed to accepting Microsoft's buyout offer.
