Yahoo, Microsoft’s Unofficial ‘Talks’

The saber-rattling from Yahoo and Microsoft is getting louder, but many analysts say it’s only a matter of time before the two cut a merger deal.

Pizza.com Domain Sells for $2.6 Million

Domain squatting can be hit or miss for a quick buck, but Pizza.com owner Chris Clark hit a minor jackpot. Spurred by the $3 million sale of vodka.com, Clark put Pizza.com up for auction late last month. Although the domain cost Clark $20 in 1994 (plus annual fees), a frenzied auction boosted the final sale price to $2.6 million.

Despite being nowhere near the $350 million payday Business.com saw last year, Clark says he’s happy with the payout. “It’s crazy, it’s just crazy,” said Clark after the auction closed. “It will make a significant difference in my life, for sure.”
