		<description>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

		<description>I have the solution.... Lay off half the employee&#039;s.  Or lay off more so that the amout of their pay, is more than the earned revenue... or more... I don&#039;t know the figurs, but .... Just lay off a zillion people... they the stock will jump again, because you laid everyone off... ... I would then recommend selling all your stock and moving on.... Problem solved.</description>

		<description>Kara,

It&#039;s true, Yahoo&#039;s had some rough sledding of late.  As a longtime shareholder I would prefer $31 to $10 any day.  Remorse is a powerful emotion.  But with everyone piling on, perhaps some perspective is in order.  

First, Microsoft&#039;s offer was a combination of cash and stock.  Since the offer, Microsoft&#039;s stock is down 30% (Yahoo&#039;s is down 60%).  So, even before getting into all of the &quot;could have, should have&#039;s,&quot; the standard comparison seems a bit misleading.  

Second, since the market bottom in October 2002 Yahoo is still up 50%.  Microsoft is down 20%.  The New York Times is down 80%.

Yahoo is still a great brand.  At this price, their upside potential seems considerably greater than their downside risk.  Time to buy?  

All the best -

		<description>Kara,

I love your blog, but I hate your comment section that doesn&#039;t allow you to finish typing a sentance before it skips back to a previous paragraph.  Horrible.  That said, back to Yang&#039;s failures.  It is almost comical, if it weren&#039;t so expensive, to revisit how incredibly drastic that his failure(s) are.  I mean, how the hell does anyone defend spending SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS, in &quot;expert&quot; fees, in order to turn down FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS?  BTW, has anyone considered that after we sue Yang into oblivion, suing these expert advisors for malpractice?  It still escapes me as to how Icahn can be 50 million shares long at $25 and put up with Yang&#039;s BS.  Yang is the captain of a rudderless ship in the midst of a hurricane.  He&#039;s in way over his head; his competitors know it; his shareholders know it; and frankly, just about everyone in the world, save for Sue &amp; Roy, know it.  He needs to be the 1st of the 10% to go.</description>

		<description>Kara,

In what can only be described as &quot;disappointing&quot; ( to coin Yang&#039;s phrase about the Google debacle), the fact that Yang is still in charge means that any hope we had at avoiding the $8 per share mark, is lost.  By any matrix, Yang is a failure.  It&#039;s even more certain based upon his comment to you that &quot;he accomplished most, if not all, of what he set out to do&quot;  Given that he hit $9.72 a share, one can only wonder what the hell it was he set out to do?  That said, he spent SEVENTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS of our money fending off MSFT&#039;s FIFTY BILLION DOLLAR offer.  He doubled down on Google, who most reasonable people never believe would do any more then provide Yang a few months worth of cover.  They gave him a rope, and Yang hung himself with it.  In football, a quarterback is judged by Super Bowl rings, in boxing the champ is judged by KO&#039;s, in baseball the manager is judged by wins and loses, and so on and so forth.  On Wall Street, the CEO is judged by one measure, and one measure alone:  Stock preformance.  When Yang turned down $31 a share he knew, or should have known that he damn well better preform.  We&#039;re at $9 and some change.  He hasn&#039;t preformed and needs to go.  If a General Manager of a team spent $73 MILLION Dollars of the owners money fending off a free agent, and then wound up in last place, everyone with a brain would be calling for his head, and rightfully so.  Yang is, and has been, a complete and utter failure, and there is no compelling reason for him to remain at the helm.  That said, I FINALLY got a call back yesterday from YHOO Investor Relations.  They mind as well be Yang&#039;s parrot:  &quot; We&#039;re not looking backwards&quot;;  &quot;We didn&#039;t walk away MSFT did&quot;;  &quot;We&#039;re disappointed that Google didn&#039;t fight harder&quot;.  BTW, what does Yang have planned to increase shareholder value in light of his failures?  &quot;We don&#039;t agree Yang failed, but we have no vision into the future&quot;  In short, typical PR flack that said NOTHING, which is indicative of Yang&#039;s tenure:  Be &quot;nice&quot; but fail at all costs.</description>
