KoolAid

Can a Microsoft Wide Web Be Trusted?

It seems like the world is completely drunk from Google's spiked KoolAid. Why is a Microsoft Internet (single sign-on, etc.) anymore dangerous that a Google/Android/DoubleC... dominated Internet? Google is already executing a strategy that they are accusing Microsoft of trying to pursue with their proposed Yahoo purchase.

Can Nike Keep Up With the Competition?

Why not consider an apparel company like Lululemon. The financials are available in their recent S-1, they look very strong and reflect good steady growth. More important, getting a stronger foothold in women's athletic apparel is something that Nike, Puma, and Adidas have all been struggling to accomplish over the years. Lululemon has built a strong following and brand in the fast growing yoga/casual athletic women's apparel sector. In my humble opinion, Lululemon would be much more attractive and strategically important than any of the companies included in your analysis. Nike should never let Lululemon hit the public market - they would be smart to preempt the public offering with a solid and fair offer.
