Everyone, but Yang, figured out long ago that the Google boys were simply throwing Yang a lifeline when Ballmer was circling. It bought Yang about 5 months, but in typical Yang style he said nothing and squandered the opportunity. Now that Alibaba is worth less, now that Google has gone bye-bye, Ballmer ought to be coming back any day with about a $22 offer. Way to go Jerry, you just cost your shareholders about $10 billion.
