Did someone just say that Yahoo has the best e-mail system?? Troll. No one could even be serious.

Jim:

You're the dim bulb / illiterate moron (your term). Fernie was following up on an earlier post he/she made and simply phrased the sentence in second/third person.

The ego got in the way of a fair offer for the company. Not to mention the economy taking a nosedive. Now you have a once very respectable company left at the mercy of the market and the economic conditions of the world. One would expect CEO's at this level to have enough information to anticapate the coming crisis and realize it was time to make the deal.

It's about time that he's stepped down. He singlehandedly destroyed a ton of value when he choose not to sell to MSFT. He should have realized that MSFT's offer was more than generous, but he didn't. Now yahoo would be lucky if MSFT came back and offered $15/share. Although I doubt Ballmer will come back to the table. He's probably enjoying yahoo squirm. www.generationyinvestor.com

It is too bad that Yahoo is faltering. It has the best email system, easy to use, clean, and easy to read. I have tried new hotmail and gmail. Did not like them at all, especially gmail. Gmail is sooooo cumbersome and difficult to use, so I switched to Yahoo and I have been very, very happy with it.

I sincerely hope that whoever gets Yahoo will keep its email system. It is definitely the best there is now.

Yang is an idiot...it's about time he left Yahoo!!!! Not that they're going to spring back into this wonderful company, but at least now they have a smidgen of a chance. MS may still want Yahoo, but they can't hold a candle to Google. MS is WAY to big of a company now...they lost their nimbleness long ago. Ballmer needs to step down as MS CEO...maybe they too would have a small chance to recover. My 2 cents...spend it wisely. :)

Fernie, you dim-bulb, that quote was not even from Peterson, it came from Wired. Illiterate morons like you are the reason America is going down the tubes!

"Yahoo says it is looking for a successor to run the company. But that seems to be more spin than reality."

No, my little confused Kim. Yahoo will find a successor and already probably has one. And not only is Microsoft NOT going to buy Yahoo by Thanksgiving, they've never really cared! Microsoft doesn't give a flying barn swallow about Yahoo.

It would be fiscally irresponsible for Microsoft to even entertain the idea. That's because they don't care.

Give me 3 good reasons why Microsoft would want to purchase a run-down operation like Yahoo. Let me guess.....they want to expand their online dating personal ads?
