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.

For the life of me, given the numerous failures and mistakes Yang has made I still can’t figure out why in the world he went on his public humiliation tour last week. If, as they are now putting out, Yang has been in discussions for months to resign, why in the world do he open his mouth at those conferences and begged MSFT to make a deal? Naturally that led to the very predictable, public slapping by Ballmer which caused the stock to sink to $9.72. If that idiot just had kept his mouth shut, Ballmer wouldn’t have said anything and we wouldn’t have crashed so much in one day. Sadly for me, I got hit with a margin call before I could respond and was sold out. The only time during this entire fiasco that the idiot should have kept his mouth shut, and that when he decides to finally say something.

What a joke of a press release, Roy working with “independant board with Yang” Yet another YHOO farce. I hope Yang spends every waking minute of his retirement in depositions and lawsuits and doesn’t have one second for golf. He screwed his shareholders royally and should have done the honorable thing months ago and resigned. His legacy is tarnished and I hope his massive ego is as deflated as our stock price.
