[Tellme's Mike McCue] Finding His Voice
,----[ Quote ]
| FC: Microsoft crippled Netscape, where you worked in the 1990s. You
| even helped the Justice Department develop its Microsoft antitrust
| case. Did you hesitate to sell out to them?
|
| McCue: It's funny. During the antitrust battles, I was in the thick
| of it--testifying to the Senate judiciary staff, the whole thing.
| Then I'd go out for drinks with the guys from Microsoft. We built
| up quite a camaraderie. Plus, I always had this niggly feeling that
| Netscape was too arrogant. Google is now the arrogant upstart. Not
| that Microsoft isn't arrogant, but it is chastened. It's the
| underdog, and it knows it.
|
| FC: Was Google sniffing around Tellme?
|
| McCue: Yes.

Yahoo's chief technology officer resigns
,----[ Quote ]
| Yahoo is undergoing a wave of change as it tries to make up ground

| and the head of its entertainment group left as part of an executive
| shakeup. Google has eclipsed Yahoo in search and advertising.
