Yahoo CEO Yang sees one direction: Forward
,----[ Quote ]
| Yahoo (YHOO) CEO Jerry Yang is understandably relaxed, as a man who just
| dodged a bullet. But he isn't ready to breathe too easy.
|

| 40-minute phone interview last week. "The last six months have been a test
| for Yahoo, but we are stronger for it and ready to move forward."

Yahoo should sue Microsoft. It broke the law if it tied up with Icahn.

| Microsoft: "Dominance is bad."
|
| On February 1, Microsoft set the porcine tone by presenting itself as the new
| champion of choice, explicitly declaring that the deal represented the best
| chance at avoiding a Google monopoly.
|
| The message itself was credible, but the source was not. After all, wasn't it
| just a few minutes ago that Microsoft was the unstoppable Evil Empire? The
| reality is that most people do indeed want to see a counter-balance to
| Google's power ... but they're not particularly thrilled to have that balance
| come from Microsoft.
