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.

well they have until Midnight Arizona time to accept my offer. My open letter on my website at http://www.docmurdock.com/yahoo.htm calls for the board and management team to accept their failings in fiduciary to investors and step down effective immediately.

Am not holding my breath, but shareholders should then sue Yahoo for breach if they don’t.

Might be fun to watch. Yang helping search for successor…like PUTIN not wanting to be President again.

Show the guy the door and take his freaking badge away, and let security know that when he comes back, hold him and have him arrested for trespassing.

Same with the rest of the board members and management team.

Not a serious comment, only the rage of a screwed shareholder.
Despite it’s true Yang has got the role only to do one thing and he didn’t, that is to sell off the company, I don’t think the interests of the shareholders match the interests of the company at the time of Microsoft offer. If the company had no potential it would be out of business without an offer. If MSFT could stole Yahoo businesses sure it did. So it’s true for me that if a company like Yahoo can’t find any reason to exist (as indipendent entity) in its own business (that has contributed to invent when Microsoft and others had no idea) then it means not a single other independent new company or new idea can birth and survive in the Internet market, that is an absurd for me. Then I believe what Yang did consciously or inconsciously is to preserve its DNA and evolve without being prey for predators.

hey jerry,

how about apologizing for screwing your shareholders? if you plan on bleeding purple, can you explain why didn’t have the honor to do the right thing and resign months ago before you blew msft and/or google and/or alibaba? i know that you think that you accomplished “most, if not all, you set out to do” so don’t you think one of those things should be apologizing for spending $73m on advisors that advised you to walk away from $50b? by all accounts you have been a miserbale failure, you have mislead your shareholders, you have been irresponsible with respect to acting in the best interest of the shareholders and you let your ego get in the way of the shareholders making a lot of money. can you at least apologize to us? you failed us miserably, so while kara may feel sentimental towards you today, i say that you should have been gone months and months ago since you are a disaster.
