When Carol Bartz announced that she’d been dismissed as Yahoo’s CEO (over a phone call, no less), she quickly left her hotel and scribbled an email on her iPad to blast to the company’s 13,400 employees.

Amidst news of Yahoo’s ousting of CEO Carol Bartz, the Wall Street Journal cites “people familiar with the matter” as saying that the beleaguered search company is “open to selling itself to the right bidder.”

It’s the natural pairing that just isn’t going to happen. Multiple sources are now reporting that Netflix is not one of the companies looking at buying online video company Hulu.
