    • Intel/Yahoo Joint Venture: Widgets and Idjits [view article]
      Scott, to respond to your last comment. Yes. At least I want such functionality. May be because I am on the cutting edge of the technology. I won't mind being able to check score or find nearest restaurant using such functionality when TV goes into "advertisement mode". Aug 25 11:22 PM

      Although this is not going to replace the TVs anytime soon. This has very practical application to a niche market. Internet is becoming utility and in the long run it will be given that most of the electronics will connect to the cloud for something or the other. We are not there yet but, on road for sure.

    • Yahoo's Management Exodus Could Be a Very Good Thing [view article]
      I agree with your view. It is surprising to see the same people crying over many of the same executives leave the company who were responsible for the mess the company is in today. I mean, come on; except for Flickr duo everyone was there from 2002 onwards. And, they not only didn't do a very good job of managing the company but also lost to Google. Some more heads should roll too. Somebody like Sue Decker should also be gone. It is surprising that nobody talks about her on the Wall Street inspite of the fact that she is the defacto CEO in the company. Jerry is nothing but a mask for the public while all major internal decisions are make by her. Jun 22 07:39 PM
    • Updated Yahoo Exec Tracker: 114 Execs Gone in 18 Months [view article]
      Wow. That means Yahoo! is much cleaner and leaner now than it was 18 months ago. That is always a good sign. Jun 22 07:32 PM
    • Yahoo's Online Services Continue to Deteriorate [view article]
      What an idiot? He is crying for $3/year more he is paying to yahoo. Why don't you take a hike? You could have written about more than $3.5 /gallon people are paying because of Oil speculators and lowering value of the dollar.
      The same goes for the first commentator. Sir, you are nothing but a racist bigot. I am amazed by the number of idiots who bash Yahoo! for cooperating against Communist China but don't even open their own closet to see that more than 95% of electronics/toys etc are made in china. If you can't stop buying chinese stuff you don't get a leverage to say anything to the Chinese govt. Because, you are not only buying from China but also borrowing from them to Fund your shopping spree. It is that simple. No wonder the Chinese are the largest lenders to the US. So, I'd say go introspect your houses first before bashing one company. Bash US arms/ammunition manufacturers who are stampeding to sell their killing machines to chinese. But, you can't/wont - because the moment you start bashing them - the media will come down on you and start branding you as unpatriotic. No wonder bunch of bozos run this country now.

    • RBC Analysts: Stay Long Yahoo As Its Possibilities Grow [view article]
      It is a ridiculous notion that MSFT is bidding against itself. This is not an auction. This is a bargaining table. There is a very big difference between auction and bargaining. In auction, the seller doesn't have any say about the price after minimum price requirement has been met. Thus, a buyer can't bid against itself. But, in bargaining, there IS NO BID. It is simply a process in which the buyer offers the price and the seller would accept it if it is acceptable to him/her. If rejected, the obvious next step for the buyer is to increase the offer or go take a hike.
      This is an unsolicited offer to acquire a company that was not for sale. So, unless MSFT is willing to pay enough money to satisfy YHOO board/shareholders; I don't see this deal going through. Now, I can't speculate on the numbers but, at this point; it seems to be higher than $31 per share.       Apr 13 11:00 AM
    • Microsoft Should Call Yahoo's Bluff and Refuse to Raise Its Bid [view article]
      Not so fast Randy. Now, people know how badly msft wants yahoo. backing down from the bid isn't going to help msft anyways as it is already bleeding through MSN. Inspite of online ad industry's double digit growth MSN has been bleeding hundreds of millions every year. And, with industry growing to 80 bill in 2011 from 40 bill today; I don't see how msft is going to get a major chunk of it without Yahoo's help. To me it seems that msft needs yahoo more than yahoo needs msft. Probably yahoo shareholders needed this before msft's offer. Those who wanted to get out, are already out as they have made profits on their yahoo investment. Only long term holders would be holding on to their stocks. And, they know patience. Feb 12 11:25 AM
    • Microsoft/Yahoo: Facebook is the Real Reason [view article]
      The title is really misleading. "Facebook is the real reason". Well, to the majority of the people on the internet; facebook is just another website. It doesn't offer any technology other than the fact that it connects users with others. MSFT wants to transform their desktop/msoffice business model into SAAS and online Ad Business. It is not about Search Advertising alone - where everyone has conceded defeat. It is about display advertising where Google is not strong and Yahoo is. It is this display world that is going to double in next 3 years and not search world. Search is very mature now whereas display is still in its infancy. Everytime I see a moron on CNN, CNBC talking about search I can't do anything but laugh. It's not about search; its about Msft transforming its offline-software model to online-SAAS model in the long run. Feb 03 01:42 PM
