"REDMOND, Wash. -- Microsoft Corp. called Yahoo Inc.'s rejection of its unsolicited $44.6 billion bid to buy the struggling search engine operator "unfortunate" late Monday but signaled it won't give up its efforts to acquire the company.
"It is unfortunate that Yahoo! has not embraced our full and fair proposal to combine our companies," Microsoft said in a statement.
The world's largest software maker also said that based on talks with shareholders from both Microsoft and Yahoo, it is "confident that moving forward promptly to consummate a transaction is in the best interests of all parties."

Famed actress Jennifer Hale discusses the modern landscape of voice acting and how developers can collaborate with performers to make better games.

This wouldn't be an issue if western devs actually made games for the audience they have instead of the one they WISHED they had.
The people they're catering to don't buy games. They will like the tweets but never buy your games, because they aren't, nor will they ever be, gamers.

There are better laws offering more protections for workers in Japan. Instead of firing people, they very noticeably stop hiring people instead - graduates are not getting jobs like they used to. It's still better to have the protections though and ***it shows what these companies would try do to Japanese developers if they could get away with it.*** She's right on this. It's about workers protections. Even if you prefer non-Western games, ***the cost pressures are said to be the same.***
Insomniac had layoffs despite reaching 11m sales on Spider-Man 2 quite quickly. Without protections for workers, big companies have no loyalty and will get rid of you even if you just temporarily become less useful when a game ships and they can rehire later.

You know damn well MS is not going to let this go. They'll keep trying to complete that deal. I don't think they'll raise the offer but some time might make the board reconsider.
