Breakfast briefing: Icahn wants Yahoo to make Microsoft deal

• Carl Icahn, the investor who buys his way into companies and agitates for them to sell until he gets his way, says he wants Yahoo to deal with Microsoft, according to Reuters. Why does that matter? Because Icahn forced his way onto Yahoo's board of directors this time last year.

• Icahn may fancy reading this weekend's debate, sparked by the Wall Street Journal, about whether or not the internet is dead for investors. James Altucher, writing in the Journal, says yes. Venture capitalist Fred Wilson, unsurprisingly, says no.

• Say hello to your new Monday morning internet addiction: PingWire, a site that grabs a constantly updating feed of pictures uploaded to a number of services including yfrog and Twitpic. It's like a window into the strangest places in people's brains (and possibly NSFW).
