Comcast, Time Warner: The Broadband Salad Bar

Quite a conundrum. They are advertising more bandwidth and more speed but squeezing out anyone who dares to use it. Comcast's service became horrible in my home several months after I started telecommuting and using a lot of bandwidth. Ever since then, they keep coming up with fake reasons for why my service goes down every day :) When it looks like they are just dropping my modem from the line from time to time. Haven't had two days of continuous service in last two months, had 6 technician appointments two of which got quietly canceled by Comcast with no notice to me... but have no choice, since DSL offers only 1.5M here.

Yahoo's Future: The Employee Perspective

It's strange that in your "Employee perspective" you do not mention the fact that both Google outsourcing and MS acquisition options will result in huge lay-offs for Yahoos. Also, what about MS employee's perspective. Aren't those who work on Live Search, and MS's ad platform worried now? Finally, how about Yahoo's recent acquisition - Zimbra? They have a product that's doing great and is in direct competition with MS's cash cow Exchange Server. Isn't Zimbra going down the toilet if MS gets Yahoo?
