Yahoo Not Ready To Scoop Up AOL

[HardOCP News]

Who in their right mind would want to merge with AOL?

Matchmakers have speculated about the possibility of a merger between Yahoo and AOL for the last couple of years. The rumor mill recycled the story recently after Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and AOL CEO Tim Armstrong -- both former Google executives -- were spotted having late-night drinks at a media and technology conference last week.

No pics of this "meeting"? Who doesn't take a picture of THAT in this day and age since it would be worth some $$ to somebody. I guess hard to take a picture of a "rumor".. or perhaps Marissa and Tim were drinking while covered in that "super black coating made of carbon nanotubes"!!

Scoop it up out of the cat box? How does AOL still exist? For that matter how does Yahoo still exist?

Merge? are they trying to make a turd sandwich?

I hope they buy them out just to kill it OFF. AOL needs to GO and ancient auto-renewing accounts that never seem to end are what's keeping it alive.
