DEALS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo!, you know that other search engine/email provider. Yeah, the one that's not Google. Microsoft is willing to pay $44.6 billion, a 62 percent premium, for a company that is becoming obsolete.

Then again, if we understood how deals like this work, we wouldn't be working from home in our pajamas in deep Brooklyn. [NYT]
