Scotman:

GLOBAL giants including Apple and Rupert Murdoch's News Corp are believed to be considering rival bids for the internet company Yahoo, which has received a $44.6bn (£22.6bn) offer from Microsoft.

BS!

1. The Scotman wants us to believe that a company that can't fix/expand .Mac (a relatively meager web attempt) is ready to undertake the impossible mission of corraling all of Yahoo's properties? Unless Apple convinces Yahoo of unbundling Flickr for purchase, this rumor is total bull.

2. The Scotman wants us to believe that a company that is incredibly conservative with merger activities is willing to spend upwards of $45 billion on a firm that's not really all that hot. Rrright.
