Yahoo Research Centre in Coimbatore?

Lately, I have been hearing news that Yahoo is planning to have a center in Coimbatore for research. Can someone validate if this is a right news or not?

It is being said that Yahoo is in talks with educational institutions like colleges and schools for performing this research in Coimbatore. The primary focus is being said around Cloud Computing etc., like that of Amazon.

At a first glance, even having key words - Yahoo and Coimbatore nearby itself excites me, as a coimbatore machan.

Hope to see lot of these news and real changes like this - Yahoo, Coimbatore, Amazon, Google?

While I talk about this - I remember Google related to Coimbatore as well, in various ways. There was Google bus running around Coimbatore for internet awareness in rural area. In other hand, Google founders came by to Aravind Hospital in Coimbatore and have a contribution from their Google Foundation, for past couple of years.
