M&A activities go on... create tons of money to investment bankers, lawyers and accountants... , and hopefully to Yahoo as well. 
Yahoo in talks to buy Tumblr for S$1.36 billion: Report
SAN FRANCISCO - Yahoo’s board will meet tomorrow (May 19) to vote on whether to offer US$1.1 billion (S$1.36 billion) in cash for New York-based blogging service Tumblr, tech blog AllThingsD cited sources close to the situation as saying yesterday.
Such an acquisition would be CEO Marissa Mayer’s largest deal since taking the helm of the once-iconic Internet company in July 2012. Yahoo is keen on Tumblr because its younger user base would enhance the older website’s “cool factor”, the technology blog cited the sources as saying.
