News broke this week that a number of senior Yahoo engineers are leaving. Despite the fact that all of them stressed that their walkouts have nothing to do with the now-failed Microsoft merger, there’s a good chance that that’s probably what it is. Jeremy Zawodny and JR Conlin, two Yahoo veterans with 18 years of tenure between them have resigned. Usama Fayyad, Yahoo's chief data officer, and Jeff Weiner, head of Yahoo's Web-content properties have resigned too. Fayyad, is planning to return to Microsoft, reports say.
A number of analysts and commentators have also speculated that the buyout offer may have been put forward as a means of pushing the company towards disarray and, subsequently, towards a mismanaged doomsday. Microsoft has used buyout proposals for this purpose before, and Yahoo’s board might have kept this (and ego) in mind when trying to negotiate a higher per-share price.

And the joke is likely on you sadly. Most languages pronounce the ei like i, the ie like e. Had his name been Mr. Wiener, then your adolescent joke would make sense.

Oh come on, it was funny

What is it, son?
I don't know, sir, but it looks like a giant...
Nothing like Rick-Rolliing yourself, eh?
This could be the first time Microsoft has killed a company by choosing NOT to buy it and run it into the ground.
Nothing gives you credibility like a comment that makes no sense. Do some homework on the software industry.
Yahoo's stupidity is costing them dearly. Hindsight is 20/20, folks.
Even if they had been able to buy Yahoo, I think Google's ad and search stats would still have increased.
