Software giant Microsoft drops its three-month-old bid to buy internet firm Yahoo after failing to reach agreement on a price.

They were some $10.6 BILLION short on the bid. Honestly, I think companies short bid like this in order to strike a frenzy on the stock markets. People hear news then jump in buying more stock and not selling anything. Funny how this came in just before the 1st quarter reports.
