Is Google Scared?
Could it be that Google is a little bit scared of what the implications of Microsoft’s offer for Yahoo!?
Privately, Google, seeing the potential deal as a direct attack, went much further. Its chief executive, Eric E. Schmidt, placed a call to Yahoo’s chief, Jerry Yang, offering the company’s help in fending off Microsoft, possibly in the form of a partnership between the companies, people briefed on the call said.
Are you kidding me?
Publicly, Google came out against the deal, contending in a statement that the pairing, proposed by Microsoft on Friday in the form of a hostile offer, would pose threats to competition that need to be examined by policy makers around the world.
And how would combining Yahoo and Google into a partnership not pose threats to competition in the search market?
