Now that famed hedge fund investor has dumped his bid for the Mets, will it give him more time to throw curve balls at Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer?

Apparently, reassurances about its relationship with Chinese partner Alibaba Group and some lively presentations by top execs at a six-hour investor day yesterday did almost nothing for Yahoo shares.
Neither did a report showing Google unseating Yahoo as the display ad market leader.

According to several sources close to the situation, Apple CEO Steve Jobs–who is on a health-related leave from the company–is definitely considering an appearance at its big iPad 2 event tomorrow.
But the possibility–which would be a big sensation at the San Francisco gathering–is also just as definitely not confirmed as yet, stressed sources.
In any case, if he does appear, let’s hope everyone can pay more attention to what bells and whistles the iPad 2 has rather than how his jeans are fitting.

Hewlett-Packard bought Palm for its technology and talent, not for its brand. So it’s hardly surprising that the Palm logo and name were nowhere to be found at HP’s big webOS event Wednesday. Not in the signage. Not in the videos or slides included in the onstage presentation and not on any of the new hardware on display. The TouchPad, Veer and Pre3 all sport silver HP logos and “HP” as a prefix, not Palm.

Wall Street’s star Internet analyst Mary Meeker considered leaving Morgan Stanley in New York for Silicon Valley’s Kleiner Perkins 11 years ago.
Today, she finally joined the legendary venture firm today as a partner in the digital arena.
It’s a much-needed hire, given Meeker’s deep well of experience and the critical need for the still-lagging-behind-hotter-VCs Kleiner to wade more definitively into more current tech trends that she knows well.

Today at the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco, Yahoo announced a bunch of new features, most of which the Silicon Valley Internet giant had already unveiled.
That includes Sketch-a-Search, quick apps in search and Search Assist, as well as integration of Zynga social games and Twitter into the site and more about its Yahoo Contributor Network.
But there was news: A local offers program, similar to offerings recently made by Facebook and others.

BoomTown will admit it: I am a social party pooper.
In any case, here is a lovely video I did yesterday while at the launch of the sFund, a $250 million fund for social start-ups backed by Facebook, Kleiner Perkins and others.
There is even some poetry.
