Rumour, rumour, read all about it!

Word is hitting the streets in business sections everywhere that Microsoft is going to buy out Yahoo. Oh, you heard that one? A long time ago, you say? Well, maybe so... but it seems this time Redmond is going a lot farther than just poking around.

According to "sources close to the matter," Microsoft and Yahoo are in the early stages of talks about MS buying the lagging search star. Talks occurred last year around the same time for MS to solely buy out the search portions of Yahoo, but Yahoo declined. This time, it seems that Microsoft isn't just talking about the search engine, but instead about the entire company.
