No deal! Microsoft walks away from Yahoo! bid
Microsoft has abandoned its bid to take over internet company Yahoo! after months of negotiations.

The acquisition was intended to become the cornerstone of Microsoft's attempts to chip away at Google's share of the booming Internet advertising market.
