Yahoo! and Microsoft start a new dance
Well, it's official. The Microsoft/Yahoo! deal that wouldn't die isn't dead yet.

Translation: We've got to do something to get our stock prices back up, and if you can't offer us something worthwhile, we might have to go ahead and partner with Google instead.
