  It’s best the deal fell through. Yahoo will get a new CEO and MSFT will stay where they are, which is not a bad place to be.

  Microsoft has a history of buying companies and screwing them up. I don’t blame Yahoo. There is tremendous value in the Yahoo name alone.

  I used to feel sorry for companies that had to buy innovation because they weren’t creative enough on their own, and then I got older and realized it’s just good business practice IF (can’t emphasize that enough) the integration of the new unit into the parent company goes smoothly, swiftly and does not cause a step back in the quality of the output of either party.

  Maybe holding out meant Yahoo didn’t think that would happen?

  I can’t see the justice department allowing a google-yahoo merger.

  Steve is playing this one right, he now knows what the ballpark the major yahoo shareholders are looking for. He can just sit back and take his time as he blames Jerry while the lawyers have a field day. Microsoft will grab yahoo sometime this fall for around $28.

  The guy saying Microsoft is evil cracked me up, I bet he uses an Apple (the king of single-minded, closed, do-it-my-way-or-else mentality).

  Best episode in a long time, great job. Lindsay is getting way to preachy over at her gig so I’d like to see this site get back to up to snuff.

  Oh my god, will you guys stop with your Lindsay hang-ups? Wallstrip is Julie…until she gets her next gig.

  Why is “Ballmer” spelled “Baumer”? Am I missing the joke?
