While talks reportedly continue in the Microsoft Corp.-Yahoo! Inc. saga, other corporate execs have been unable to keep from commenting. And while it's interesting that, according to Reuters, Rupert Murdoch is "mystified" the two haven't come to terms and Barry Diller says MSFT should never have fired a hostile shot at Yahoo! if it didn't plan to stick it out, the most interesting news comes from Activision Inc. chief executive and Yahoo! board member Bobby Kotick. Kotick joked that he tried to get top execs from the tech giants together for some "Guitar Hero 4." Too bad it never happened. There's nothing like a little jam session to blow off steam. - Baz Hiralal
