    Rumormonger: Facebook turned down Yahoo's $1.4 billion

    Yahoo recently offered Facebook a $1.4 billion buyout, according to a crazy rumor heard at SloshCon. Tipster says Facebook rejected Yahoo (they're waiting for a $2 billion offer, remember?). Now that takes balls bigger than Stephen Colbert's.
