Yahoo boss quits

Google's meteoric rise is an especially hard pill for Semel to swallow because he once flirted with the idea of buying Google. In mid-2002, Semel reportedly terminated negotiations when Google set its sales price at $5bn.

Ouch, that must be depressing. I don't think Google would be what it is today under Yahoo ownership though, they seem like very different companies.
