		<description><![CDATA[Yahoo and acquisition?
I am not convinced about Yahoo acquiring Skype. It is VERY unlikely. They may settle at some &quot;technical collabration&quot; and &quot;licensing&quot; of technology.

Yahoo doesn&#039;t have much acquisition plans in Europe at the moment. I have some friends in Yahoo headquarters and they have indicated to me that yahoo is more focused on emerging markets (China, India) for big ticket and strategic acquisitions.

Yahoo is smart! and they&#039;re not gonna buy companies just for the heck of it. Unlike google which is just a &quot;show case&quot; yahoo is a real business. Google is acquiring companies just to justify their $80Billion valuation. Yahoo acquires company to add value to their existing business-not valuation.

A India and china strategy for yahoo is top agenda...when did Yahoo acquire a company last? Like in Nov. 2004?

Stop spreading these rumors which have no foundation.
Sorry to disappoint the speculators out there!
