Microsoft Withdraws Its Bid for Yahoo!

Color me shocked! Microsoft has withdrawn it’s bid for Yahoo!.

No one will know until Monday what affect this decision will have on both Microsoft’s and Yahoo!’s stock price. I am, by no means, facile in the ways of the business world but to me, this shows a surfeit of tenacity and strength on Yahoo!’s part and a dearth of both on the part of Microsoft. But I’m biased. (@NYT, via Daring Fireball)

Other obsessions of mine

Happy Places (you should be here)

  • UI&us User interface design and the cognitive psychology behind it.
  • Tweetage Wasteland “Confessions of an Internet Superhero”. Sometimes it can get a bit formulaic, yes but the writing. The writing! So good. This is probably the father I am going to be. She’s already been warned.
  • Kottke.org “Liberal Arts 2.0″. Jason Kottke posts on a wide variety of subjects ranging from art to culture, from the latest internet meme to the latest scientific discovery. Bursting with good stuff.

Even more happy places! ...
