      Microsoft, Yahoo Deal Is Hopefully on Fast Track
      Thank you for the fresh, original thought on the Yahoo!-Microsoft deal.

      Oh, wait, you don't have any fresh, original thoughts. Just the same old crap that every financial reporter writes - in attempt to run out in front of the latest parade and act like they're part of it.

      Hopefully, you're on the fasttrack to a job where you're not allowed to share your thoughts....ever again.

      Yahoo's Jerry Yang Needs To Get On With It
      Everyone seems to forget Yahoo! employees are stockholders too... and discount us as a group, as a force and as relevant.

      It's the investment bankers and bean-counters who are urging for Yang and Yahoo! to rollover and act defenseless. Fine. But don't couch this as what "stockholders&quo... think is "best for the company".

      You're interested only in short-term payoffs for your investments. Just say it out loud for a change. Yahoo! employees- of which I am one- are still 12,000 strong worldwide. We have a culture a lifestyle and a drive to succeed that people who punch the clock will never know, nor understand. We will never vote to join Microsoft. Ballmer and his minions will never be welcome.

      Yang's approach seems odd to you, most likely, because your life is based on continuous disingenuous business-speak disguised to hide what you really mean. Yang's voice is our voice. If you can't hear it properly then listen closely: We don't want an arranged marriage, we will resist at every corner, even if it means shacking up with somenone else. The major stockholders will never get our loyalty.
      It already belongs to the greatest company in the world and it's visionary leader...not a pack of financial dogs sniffing each other's behinds hoping to catch a whiff of some new money-making opportunity.
