Carl Icahn drinks Microsoft's milkshake
Yahoo’s shares jumped to their highest level since Microsoft abandoned its takeover offer as expectations rose that the internet company was about to come under renewed pressure to consider a deal.
Carl Icahn, the activist investor, is considering proposing nominees to the company’s board as a way to force Yahoo’s hand, according to one investor who has worked as an ally with him on similar situations.
This investor, and other media reports, also claimed that Mr Icahn had amassed a stake of as much as 4 per cent of Yahoo’s shares in preparation for a fight.

"There Will Be Blood"
Paul Thomas Anderson's new film based on Upton Sinclair's novel Oil!. The film boast a great cast lead by Daniel Day Lewis as Daniel Plainview, a self made oil tycoon. Incredible sound track by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead and amazing cinematography. This film is very different from all of P.T. Anderson's past work and not like any other movie out there. Its remenicent of classic films like "Giant" and "Written On The Wind" substituting the melodrama with a stark depiction of an obsesive man's rise and fall.
