Yahoo's Yang Sticks It to Shareholders and Employees [View article]
Yankini nailed it. Todd and others completely missed the point. As with any M&A, employees are worried and rightfully so since there will be layoffs with all the overlapping roles. Many have already left or are looking. The M&A could take many months or year(s) to finalize. Meanwhile Yahoo still needs to keep going but it will be hard if the talents keep leaving. The severance package provides some stability and comfort for the employees to keep working through the distractions. Also, it may encourage some to stick around and see how they like working for MS. Bill Gates said it himself that the People of Yahoo is what MS is most interested in. If he is being truthful, then Y! probably did him a favor.

I'd like to see the studies on search listing ads too. I bet a great deal of people click on sponsor search listings without knowing that its an ad. A lot of people search for info, not necessarily to buy.
Yeah, I concur with Thomas! @Frogman: actually, this is expected. If Yahoo! takes the first offer, the shareholders would be pissed too. If you go shopping for a car, you don't take the first offer either.

Thomas, you can rip any DRM file into CD. Its just a pain in the butt having to do that and rip it back to PC just to convert it to MP3. A lot of people refuse to buy music that can only be played in one device (without the steps mentioned above).
I've purchased a few songs from Amazon and its a great service. DRM is dead.
