I cant believe yahoo has a bigger cap than AOL, I havent been following AOL for years but at one point in the UK, probably 10 years ago they were absolutely everywhere!

Aren't AOL the parent company to Warner bros etc ?

Dayum,
I missed a whole lotta history:
The total value of AOL stock subsequently went from $226 billion to about $20 billion
As of June 2010 AOL's subscriber base has dropped to 4.4 million

which is why its so surprising that they would go after something such as Yahoo and its present state.

Here we go again. After the Time Warner/AOL debacle (described last week as "the worst deal in corporate history - ever") you might have expected the lesson to have been learned, but desperation can make for some odd decisions and even odder bedfellows. So AOL, a company with big problems, is considering buying Yahoo, a bigger company with bigger problems!
