Google reacts (in the form of David Drummond, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development and Chief Legal Officer) to Microsoft’s hostile bid for Yahoo ON A BLOG! Yahoo! and the future of the Internet (I am so in the right “industry”)

Update: Now this is interesting, if it’s true:

Google Inc. Chief Executive Eric Schmidt called Yahoo Inc. CEO Jerry Yang to offer his company’s help in any effort to thwart Microsoft Corp.’s unsolicited $44.6 billion bid for Yahoo

Goes to show just how much bad blood Microsoft has generated. Unfortunately I just don’t see Steve Ballmer as the person to mend those wounds.
