Nothing. She can posture all she wants, yahoo is very weak in the negotiation.

P.S. That photo is just mean. Is it from her time in the Wizard of Oz?

Chrome will stomp on nothing. Javascript is ubiquitous, any speed advantage will be quickly replicated.

[...] Rumour has it that Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer is meeting Yahoo’s CEO Carol Bartz during the All Things Digital conference. The failed buyout by Microsoft on Yahoo probably has not dent the relationship between Microsoft and Yahoo. A lot has been said that Yahoo has appointed Carol Bartz just so that Yahoo and Microsoft could be back to the table again. [...]

TechCrunch: Would it be possible to block all comments from anythingLocator.com and/or @MyLocator? This guy is a troll, and an idiot at that. Nearly every story has some worthless spammy comment with some worthless spam site appended at the end. It makes the community less trustworthy, less attractive, and less safe.

Wow, finally an up to date photo of Ms Bartz.

I seem to usually see a stock photo where she looks years younger, and like some sort of Barbie Doll model.

Why? You should keep coding to the requirements you were provided and not get distracted by this stuff. Besides, what has Yahoo developed in the last couple of years that’s compelling?

What valuation do people think MSFT and Yahoo would agree? Would it be 50% less than MSFT offered last year?

Don’t be so obsessed with these ‘market shares’, MBA’s! In this crazy new super-interconnected world these ’shares’ can come and go in an instant. Look at Chrome and guess what it will do with Mozilla in a short while. They will just stomp on it and that’s it.

Think about the substance. Users WANT something (they don’t know what actually), keep offering something to them, don’t sit on your … counting on the persistence of your imaginary ’shares’ (and the price of your personal options of course).

Like most things that reach this stage, it’s like all about the valuation of the deal at this point, a.k.a. making Yahoo shareholder’s cash happy. http://www.netw...nity/node/42225

imagine be-ing ballmer having to sing a new name for his engine and on the church alter the sameday asking for the hand of another engine. reminds me of a “baller-ina.” yeah Y gots patent 360 but that will not be needed for next generation natural language “location engines.” yeah Gaggl made all there money from it when in reality the end product is garbage. the internet’s not about search it’s about location and always will be. its nice to see behemoths going in the wrong direction.

I’ll call it “the BING effect”. I believe Microsoft and BING is like North Korea and their atomic bomb, just noise to get attention. Microsoft will buy Yahoo next month.

It was a good deal, which was rejected by Yahoo. If you compare Yahoo and Google in the search market, Yahoo was far behind despite in the second place. Microsoft knows this and I doubt if it will offer a price for Yahoo anywhere higher than the one it offered before. That is if Microsoft considers again to buy Yahoo. With all the buzz, Microsoft is making these weeks with its new, upcoming search engine, called Bing, I am afraid Microsoft is far from thinking of buying out Yahoo.

Come on Yahoo! As much as I like singing your name like the yodeling guy from the commercials, everytime I visit your site, doesn’t mean you should back down from a sweet deal like this!
