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 ?iir türleri çet chat sohbet needs a whole bunch of widgets because they don’t impinge too much on the screen/template real estate.

If you haven’t figured it out, that was my way of saying that when we do buy Yahoo we will need a “Microsoft trained” oriental guy to take Yang’s place. One hard and fast rule we have around here is that you never do cross-culture-replacement of senior executives! Italians for Irish or French for Portuguese or even Mexican for Bolivian is OK, but never replace a China-man with anything less than a Korean! It simply isn’t done.

It’s all entertaining to watch from the sidelines. It’s another thing to be in the midst of it. It’s just too bad that Yahoo is dragging its feet in the CEO search.

Yang wants none of the responsibility (stepped down in November), but wants all of the glory in making new deals. Pretty sad state of affairs.

If Yahoo does decide to hire me, I hope he has few things to pack as he’ll be escorted out the door very quickly following a week long transition meeting, de-badged and sent off the property to do other things.

No more Chief Yahoo’s in that company. Only 1 can be Chief.

I can’t wait for Qi Lu to announce that Linux will be the Search engine OS thereby undercutting Microsofts Vista and the distruction of the core cash machine Death Star.
Qi=Luke, Steve=Darth.
The return of the Jedi Yoda=Bill
