Icahn Hopes Ballmer is an Idiot

Looks like Icahn's fondest wish is that Ballmer is dumb enough to buy Yahoo:

In the past three days, the raider has bought another 6.7 million shares of Yahoo for about $65 million, bringing his total to 75.6 million shares.

There are plenty of people telling Ballmer to buy Yahoo, of course - it's cheap now. Of course, the integration costs haven't gone down, so I still say that such a buy would be really, really stupid.
