It was delightful to see Bill and Steve sharing a stage and reminiscing about their stuff, but I was surprised that Bill (gadgets) and Steve (widgets) didn’t settle the debate about the original inventor of the widget. One can never have too many widgets. Somebody codes something you never even dreamed of wanting - suddenly everybody lig tv izle bedava ligtv izle garibim deyimler şiir türleri çet chat sohbet needs a whole bunch of widgets because they don’t impinge too much on the screen/template real estate.

[...] he has been unusually quiet since he joined, as has the rest of the board, which could mean he has either become frustrated into inaction or is quietly working on something [...]

Only me? Hmm. I think only you think the board has performed well.

Nathaniel: If you think Kara’s view is inaccurate, why not present your counter-view? This board has been asleep at the switch for many years now. That they are now responding so slowly – even with Icahn and the massive deterioriation of the stock price – is not a surprise. Past behavior predicts future behavior.

That’s your own personal individual perspective, Kara. Not all people share the same view as you, and actually, I think only you share that view. While I can respect that view, in my opinion, it is inaccurate.

You would think given Jerry’s miserable preformance that he’d spend less time giving lectures, and more time in the office. Who in their right mind would listen to what Yang has to say, unless he’s giving a speech on how your ego can get in the way of a fifty billion dollar ROI. The math here isn’t that difficult, and no matter how many PR flaks Yang surrounds himself with, he thought the company was worth $37 and today we’re at $9.92. He can’t escape that fact as it is demonstrative of how badly he blew it. If he had any honor or dignity at this point, he’d do us all a favor and resign. Honestly, at this point, the street would respond favorably if they replaced him with Mickey Mouse.

The world outside Yahoo saw this coming back in spring when Microsoft walked away from the table. Well done Jerry. You not only ruined the investment of many of your shareholders, you also ruined your legacy. I’m too surprised the angry mob did not break out the pitchforks and torches yet, spearheaded by Icahn. Maybe theres something boiling under the wraps…?

I have to say that I’m surprised by Carl’s lack of action, short of a few comments on the cable shows. I would have thought he’d be more active, if not more vocal. I was very disappointed before the shareholder meeting when Carl seemingly gave up without much of a fight. Perhaps if Jerry fought as hard to increase stockholder value as he did to save his job in August we’d be looking at a $25 stock. But that said, Jerry is clearly the wrong guy for the job, who lacks any clue have to navigate a publicly traded company, who lacks vision and who lacks direction. Sadly, I don’t expect much any longer from Yang, but as you note, the board is asleep at the swtich.
