Is this investment-banker-hype week and no one told me? It certainly seems so from all the almost ridonkulous rumors about everyone and their mother considering making a bid for Yahoo. Microsoft is not.

I love the smell of blog wars in the morning!
Acting as Facebook often does to Google, a new site started by former Engadget editor Josh Topolsky just hired away yet another passel of tech journalists from the giant gadgets news and reviews organization.
It is Topolsky’s second major talent raid since he left his editor-in-chief job there in March, for a new gadget property aimed at unseating Engadget.

In case you haven’t heard, the tech and media moguls have jetted their private planes to Sun Valley, Idaho, for the exclusive annual Allen & Company confab and are probably easing into the cocktail hour just about now.

How’s this for irony:
It was less than a year and a half ago that Owen Van Natta was ousted from his job as CEO of Myspace.
But last week — just as the failed social networking site sold for a paltry $35 million — Van Natta could have bought it himself for a fraction of his stake in Zynga, the social gaming phenom that just filed for its IPO and where he’s a top exec and shareholder.

Just what is SB Nation’s Jim Bankoff up to?
Earlier this week, he hired away eight staffers from AOL’s Engadget in order to create a competing tech news and gadget site.
And now, according to sources close to the situation, the former AOL content head is close to hiring another former top AOL media exec, Marty Moe, to manage it and also more niche sites the blog network is contemplating launching.

Jim Bankoff, the fomer AOL exec responsible for buying Engadget for the Internet portal, has grabbed eight staffers who had recently left the huge tech site amid tensions, in order to start a new gadget property for his SB Nation sports and news platform.
The site–which is still unnamed and will be run by outgoing Engadget Editor-in-Chief Josh Topolsky–will debut sometime in the fall.
Meanwhile, AOL has zeroed in on a new leader to replace Topolsky.
