Now that corporate raider Carl Icahn has been mollified with a seat on Yahoo's board, he's all about keeping a low profile. On his blog, the Icahn report, he says he will not be appearing the Yahoo shareholder meeting: "The proxy fight is over and it will not do shareholders or Yahoo any good to have the annual meeting turn into a media event for no purpose." Icahn then proceeds to complain about evil institutional investors and how because of them he's stuck with a minority position, so now he's hoping for a "beautiful friendship" and "look(s) forward to working harmoniously with the new board of Yahoo." While CEO Jerry Yang and chairman Roy Bostock must be happy about Icahn's attitude upgrade, I already miss the cranky curmedgeon version. (Photo by Getty/Michael Nagle)
