I don't know if they actually want it or they are driving Yahoo's price up so high that Google can't afford them.
Who knows.

Mr. Softy prolly shorted the hell out of a gazillion Google shares, then released the buy offer to the news media. Thereby making a 10% clear profit with no cash outlay. I tell you dey is crooks and pirates on Wall Skreet.

I haven't heard.I'll try to find out if they did or not.
I would much rather Google own Yahoo than Micro$oft.
