Second Request Alert: It is so back on!


From the AP:
"Microsoft Corp. said Sunday it is talking to Yahoo Inc. about a transaction that doesn't involve a full buyout like the software maker's $47.5 billion offer that fell apart earlier this month.
Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500) walked away May 3 from its offer to buy the Web pioneer. Since then, billionaire investor Carl Icahn has launched an effort to oust Yahoo's board.
In a statement Sunday, Microsoft says it is considering a different kind of deal with Yahoo (YHOO, Fortune 500) as it pursues ways to improve and expand its online services and advertising business."
Yeah, by better deal, they better mean most ginormus merger ever!
