Yahoo and Icahn Strike A Deal.

Finally—some news today in the contentious Carl Icahn-Yahoo proxy battle that's been raging for months. This morning, Yahoo announced that it had made a deal with Icahn that will give him a seat on its board. Yahoo will also expand the board by two additional members, who will be selected from a list of potential candidates drawn up by Icahn.

While none of this would have happened in Jerry Yang's perfect world, it still appears to be relatively good news for the beleaguered CEO—whom Icahn had threatened to oust immediately if he was elected to the board. For now it looks like Icahn will leave him alone, although Yang, along with eight other board members, will stand for re-election in the coming months.

Despite that, Yahoo apparently has forgotten (?) to take down its page bashing Carl Icahn, which they put up last week. The site, which is linked to Yahoo's homepage, includes quotes from Icahn that make him sound dumb ("It's hard to understand these technology companies.") and the following graphic:

In the interest of keeping your job (for now) Jerry, maybe take that down?
