Microsoft Gets the Blogging Community

Paying off bloggers for favourable opinion is good pr!

Of course, the same is true for paying off bloggers for bashing competitors.

A Trip to 'Fantasyland' - Should Google Buy Apple?

For the top 5 reasons to buy:

I don't care to run google apps on my iPhone. Once the keyboard is on screen, I can't see very little else.
One reason I like Apple is because they don't throw ads at me every chance they get. I would definitely not use a smartphone that bombards be with ads, including one from Apple.
the combination will only draw the masochists among enterprise customers.
The last two points don't mean a thing.

As for reasons not to buy, they are just fundamentally disjoint companies.

Hey Microsoft, I've Got A Better Idea

But Apple does not compete in the online advertising space!

Microsoft + Yahoo = No Longer a Recipe for Success

"I recall a discussion on the Gillmor Gang podcast at least two years ago that wondered when -- not if -- Microsoft would buy Yahoo! Most of those on the call, including me, said it was the only outcome for Yahoo! and the only way for Microsoft to blunt Google."

Some recommendation you admit to have made two years ago! This deal makes no sense no matter the timing. Neither Yahoo, nor Microsoft have ever had any technological advantage over Google. The gap will only widen over time. In case you haven't noticed Microsoft is unable to compete effectively in anything but where they already hold a monopoly - a monopoly which has claimed the destruction of many companies along the way and for which they had to pay dearly in legal fines and fees.
