MicroHoo? Nevermind that deal—word is that Microsoft is in talks with AOL/Time Warner right now about a potential "tie-up" as the WSJ is calling it. While it's unclear [to us] what exactly that means, it is an indicator that Microsoft may finally (!) be washing their hands of Yahoo. While we'll only believe it when we see it, it's time for that bad soap opera to end. And if AOL and Microsoft strike a deal, that may do it.
