I have to smile at the way the price that Microsoft are offering to pay for Yahoo is often rounded down to a straight $44 billion when it’s reported.
For example, last week on ReadWriteWeb: Plan B for Microsoft
It’s actually $44.6 billion. That “.6″ is $600 million, so not exactly trivial.
In fact it’s more than News Corp paid for MySpace or (at least at current exchange rates) Fairfax paid for Trade Me.
I guess at some point you just get numb to the number of zeros?
