Was on the radio - I'm sure it said Google, although it was on in the background, and I only picked up on it as the item was finishing.

Maybe it is going after Yahoo because of Google's empire. Might make more sense.

Yep, a quick google (apt I thought) for "Microsoft" and "bid" brought up Yahoo but nothing about Google.

Oh well - I guess I must have mis-heard the item.
