As quoted in the article:

The proposed Yahoo severance plan, which comes out to roughly $1.60 a share, was seized upon by critics who said it presented an obstacle to any potential deal with Microsoft.

Well maybe there shouldn't be any deal with Microsoft. I for one am sick of of the Micronopoly. And yes all, I'm banging this comment out on an Linux driven notebook

Icahn is a clown, a destroyer, a short term investor. No way in hell should someone like ever be in a position to make decisions for a company.

The incredibly arrogant, dictatorial Jerry Yang should be put in jail for the rest of his miserable life for crimes against Yahoo shareholders. This clown thinks Yahoo is his own private company. Well, it isn't.

LOL. Yang is looking out for the growth and long term success of Yahoo. Icahn is looking to destroy a company for a quick buck. Who should be in jail again? Yahoo has a much higher stock price then they did 6 months ago and have new avenues of growth because of the follishness of Ballmer.
