I can’t help myself and not writing some fun stuff to about the BIG DEAL and I promise, that I’ll try not to mention it again :). Anyway, since everybody’s talking about it, of course that fake logos and pictures appeared and even more: fark.com also organized a contest for the best photoshoped comic/picture. Here’s one of my favorites:

Funny thing: after the announcement of the giant Microsoft to acquire another giant (Yahoo!), the stock price of the Yahoo increased, which it’s kinda normal. But the stock price for Microsoft…..went down and looks like it’s still going. It seems like Microsoft investors are not very happy about this intention to buy Yahoo, maybe because Yahoo it’s now almost on the Investors blacklist. Interesting battle anyway with only one possible winner: Google :). Time will tell.
According to CNN, Microsoft announced today that it has made a proposal to Yahoo! to acquire all the shares of Yahoo! common stock for per share consideration of $31 representing a total equity value of approximately 44.6 billion dollars. Microsoft’s proposal would allow the Yahoo! shareholders to choose if they want to receive cash or a fixed number of shares of Microsoft common stock, with the total consideration payable to Yahoo! shareholders consisting of one-half cash and one-half Microsoft common stock.

That means that from now one, Internet Explorer and Windows Vista will be delivered with Yahoo Toolbar installed? Good thing that I’m a Firefox fan 
The most popular IM arount the globe, Yahoo Messenger has released a new version, for now just in BETA, but so far, it looks promising and very neat. What’s new in this version? Well, the most significant one is the new look and feel, the new themes available (and emoticons) and the way the messages are displayed, as conversations (similar to what you can see in gmail or gtalk). Also, the new IM comes with a Flickr integration in the photo sharing feature, and a new in-line media player that makes it easy to view maps, photos and videos from Yahoo! Video or YouTube right in the IM window (it was about time for this one).
So far, Yahoo did a great job with this new release (in BETA version, keep in mind) wich you cand download it here:
