Yahoo has added a button on its main Web site linking to a page that lobbies shareholders to vote against Carl Icahn's plans for the company, stepping up its rhetoric in the days leading up to its annual meeting.

The page, reached via a button that reads "Your Yahoo! Your Vote," clearly tries to discredit Icahn, who has proposed a new board of directors for Yahoo in hopes of facilitating a deal with Microsoft.
