Tech Titans to Head Off Patent Suits
Several technology titans, including Google and Verizon, are allying to defend themselves against patent suits. Their plan: to buy up key intellectual property before it falls into the hands of parties that could use it against them.
Microsoft said on Sunday that it had approached Yahoo, this time with an ostensibly narrower aim: a collaboration on Internet advertising. But it hinted that it could still seek a takeover down the road.
The renewed talks reflect both Microsoft's fears and Yahoo's potential ills, The New York Times wrote. Microsoft wants to head off any collaboration on advertising between Yahoo and the market leader, Google. At the same time, Microsoft is seeking to capitalize on the perceived weakness of Yahoo, which is facing a proxy battle with the activist investor Carl C. Icahn over the failed takeover talks.

The tutoring, which involved informal talks about the outside world as well as English instruction, ended after a few months; in the early years of the Cultural Revolution, there was little contact with Mao, she said, except a few letters. 章含之

Mr. Ojanpera met Mr. Stewart more than a year ago at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and since then they have had monthly conversations, tutorials mostly, Mr. Stewart said, on how the music business works.
“We disagree on the speed of things. I’m trying to force it faster and he, quite wisely, understands he’s in a world where things exist in a certain way,” Mr. Stewart said. “Tero’s thinking is that he’s going to change the way things work and it’s going to be better. But it takes time.”
Executives are more receptive now when Mr. Ojanpera comes calling. “There is more interest,” he said. But he too is realistic. It’s not yet like the early days of the DVD explosion, when the heads of movie studios flew on their private planes to Bentonville, Ark., to woo Wal-Mart executives. But one day, maybe it will be.
“Once we start to see them make the trek to our headquarters in White Plains,” he said, “then I know things really have changed.”
