    This is a preview article that isn't even 2 paragraphs long and requires subscription to read the whole thing. How did this make the front page?

    Agreed, pure speculation with little chance of getting through regulatory approvals.

    Is this what the WSJ publishes to draw in weekend readers who are mostly unfamiliar with the tech space?

    0% chance FTC allows Google to buy them.

    this is linkbait..FTC will not allow Google or Microsoft ot buy Yahoo..in fact both MS and Google have discuss before how they were handcuffed by FTC considerations about this
