Jerry, Meet Carl
Maybe it wasn't the dollars that kept Yahoo (NASD:YHOO) from accepting the Microsoft offer. Perhaps it wasn't even the corporate culture gap between Sunnyvale and Redmond. Maybe it was simply a personality style clash between Jerry and Steve.
Just as Jerry Yang and crew were high-fiving each other and heading back to the foosball table to celebrate their victory over the evil empire from Redmond (NASD:MSFT), Carl Icahn comes along and drops word that he's purchased 50 million shares.
The blogs are all warning that if Jerry thought Steve Ballmer was a tough guy, just wait until a shark like Carl Icahn gets hold of him. But Carl's got a soft side as well, as shown here in this stand up comedy routine from Caroline's Comedy Club via the Livermore Report. Perhaps Jerry Yang just needs to get a sense of humor.
