humm
so sad, you were doing fine kid, till you bash on the T.A, you offended a lot of people in here, plus, you diminish an art, that certainly is more than just "drawing dots and lines" .

you should measure your words next time

Why Jerry Yang Needs To Drive a Beer Truck

awesome article man.
probably one of the best so far.
congrats =]

Microsoft Says They'll Pay More for Yahoo

its more than obvious, and everyone in here, and other foruns state the obvious.

1- msft should have never started off with such a huge premium. this is a basic kids lesson at buying/selling anything. as buyer, start low, do not depreciate the sellers product, but dont worship it as well. they could have a done deal, at 31, by starting off at 25+

2- yhoo was trading at its up teens, when the insane 31 came, i thought, "yang is stupid if he doesnt take it" now i see beyond "ballmer is 10x times more stupid, for such higher bid, and keep on insisting"

3- thats what you get for naming you roommate college buddy to run your company, he will sink gates co.

4- who advises ballmer? shit, please, who came up with such a higher bid? i still dont get it.

5- lets put this way, yang asks for more, more and more, and stupid ballmer just give him everything he wants, they merge.. and... ?
it will be just the beginning of a huge mess

ego wars through engineers
interface/linking compatibilities
A DEBT MSFT WILL ACQUIRE, SINCE THEY DONT HAVE 50BILLION+ IN CASH TO PAY.

so, honestly
get this fucking 40 billion bucks, they have from profits from over the past years, and just invest 10% of it, into this "zuckerberg kids" out there, that, believe me, they will come out with much better and creative ideas, than mr. yang his useless portal.

i trully, believe that, there much more things to do with 40 billion dollars, the "zuckerberg kids" are just one of so many, that would be awesome, and consume wayyyyyyyyy less money, and would brig much more revenue at no cost, such as, ego wars, etc..

i think ballmer, has some fetish in acquiring yahoo, and will do everything just to fulfill his needs, like a spoiled kid, to have that desired toy, once he does that. he will play around with it a little, than gets annoyed and look for another one..

really, ballmer is stupid, his advisor's are equally or greater stupid, and will sink microsoft.

Microsoft Should Listen to Its Heart (and ignore the bean counters)

its not about google apps, yahoo apps, or the "software world going online"

i will not talk trash about the author, but please, why insist on this "its all going online"

its about the damn freewares populating cyberspace, well said, the guy who mentioned openoffice.org and many other in initiatives

bandwith is still a problem, plus, there are tons of places you cannot get online through broadband, you would need a fast quick old fashioned dialup solution. thats where thoes web apps, fail, and once again it comes down to the freewares like, openoffice
lets not forget that, combined office and windows represent 90% of microsoft revenue.
now, its delusional to think that "not buying yahoo will sink them(them = microsoft)"
believe me pal, this guys at redmond got tons of aces in their sleeves, and can affoard to spend 40 billion, in something else. that would turn out to be better, easier and more lucrative.

by the way,
MAC OS AND LINUX (UBUNTU AND ITS TONS OF OTHERS DISTRIBUTIONS) do not threat windows at all.
firefox does this to internet explorer.
but as an OS, windows is the supreme king.
no dethroning anytime soon.

PLUS:
MAC WOULDNT BE SELLING THAT MUCH IF JOBS HADNT REALIZED THAT DUAL BOOT WAS A MUST.

i know people that buy macs, just for the sake of having a mac.
they dual boot it, and install windows.
thats is.

mac is esthetic's, is fashion, is cute. and thats all.
its a cpu brand, like prada is for clothing.
