Time Warner dissident shareholder Carl Icahn made headlines Wednesday threatening to hold board members "personally" responsible if the company sold AOL too cheaply. He indicated in a speech to the
New York Society of Security Analysts that Time Warner had rejected potential suitors from bidding for AOL. Icahn didn't specify which companies he was referring to, but it's been widely reported that
discussions about AOL between Time Warner and Yahoo! faltered last month. Microsoft remains interested in acquiring a piece of AOL, as are Google and Comcast. A Time Warner spokeswoman Wednesday
declined to specifically respond to Icahn's statement about AOL. -- Wendy Davis
