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.

Hi Kara,

I have been doing some research out of desperation for some help. I run a gaming league owned by Cases MyLeagues, which is owned by Demand Media and ultimately run by CEO Richard Rosenblatt.

During the past year we have faced horrible obstacles and can find no help. I personally have had to create over 20 Yahoo id’s becuase of Yahoo’s attempts to keep advertising bots out of the gaming chat rooms. I was in compliance with all rules. I do animal rescue on my main id, and need to be logged into that id, which in turn means I cannot be logged into my league id at the same time.

When I approached the Cases staff for help I was told that it was an issue I had to take up with Yahoo because ” if I had a problem with my television, I would not complain to Ford Motor Co.” My reply, if my tv was installed in a Ford Vehicle I certainly would. And the leagues can only function in Yahoo rooms. Being banned from the room for 13 years was not an option for me.

That issue for myself and hundreds of Cases unpaid tournament directors went unsolved.

Then I tried to find a solution to a problem with the leagues being attacked via spammers and hackers. Again, this is to no avail. No one seems to care or hear us complain. I tried to reach Mr. Rosenblatt but to the little person like myself, he is protected like Fort Knox.

If he wants to keep the leagues running and members paying for ‘Premium’ memberships shouldn’t someone care what is happening? In 2 years I have spent almost 16 hours a day, 7 days a week to build the largest English speaking Literati League on Yahoo. Do I not deserve respect and help?

Sincerely, LadyT

[...] were considered and contacted, thus far there is no clear frontrunner, as some–such as News Corp. (NWS) COO Peter Chernin and former Vodafone (VOD) CEO Arun Sarin–have discounted their interest so [...]

My money is on Carly. I hear she’s looking for work, and has experience driving companies into the ground…

I agree that if YHOO takes some of AOL then the non-compete clause cancellation could be included for Miller.

The next issue would be the email accounts. YHOO(A), AOL(B) and MSFT(C). I don’t think the justice department would allow A+B+C, then MSFT would only have YHOO Search. Hmmm that sounds like The Times report

If Yahoo acquires AOL then Jon Miller can be CEO as part of the deal. That’s the deal Yahoo’s board should be closing right now.

They can send my advisory fee to the Save Jerry’s Golf Game campaign

Todd Bradley was the CEO of Palm before he left for HP. Palm was (and so far still is) a public company.
