Overture-Yahoo to Buy Overture in $1.63 Bln Deal Monday July 14, 4:50 pm ET LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Internet media company Yahoo Inc. (NasdaqNM:YHOO - News) on Monday said it would buy online advertising provider Overture Services Inc.(NasdaqNM:OVER - News) for $1.63 billion in cash and stock to strengthen Yahoo's ad business and ward off a growing challenge from search engine Google I made a quick buck on a similar deal that YHOO-made for INKT. Bought at the end of internet bubble- just over a buck- I will look at Google if things calm down in time. Microsoft- might look, but might have something in house. I'm sure someone would have cried foul if they did buy a search engine before YHOO..
