  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  The Journal doused its earlier report. Again citing unnamed sources, it reported online that "in recent months" Yahoo! and Microsoft had talked about a merger or "some kind of matchup that would pair their respective strengths," but that the merger talks are "no longer active."

Blodget: MicroHoo ‘is gonna be a disaster’
