The long decline of Yahoo has had a variety of causes, and even the hiring of Marissa Mayer has not turned around the company's fortunes. While most of the largest names in the Internet have been speculated as potential buyers, Verizon and SoftBank are likely to bid. The UK tabloid The Daily Mail may also make a bid with an equity partner.

Yahoo has a number of assets including its stake in Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba, three percent annually of Yahoo Japan's gross profits, 6,000 patents, and over one million square feet of office space around its Sunnyvale, California main office. Much like the television deal made in the merger of the ABA-NBA, the perpetual payment terms have grown significantly in value.

    Sure ...
    ... that mixed salad you're going to eat once it warms to room temperature and begins to wilt? You'll have to get each type of leafy whatever from a different source instead of buying a pre-made bag of Yahoo Mixed Salad.

    Better?
