Yahoo Loses Another Top Exec
,----[ Quote ]
| It's bad enough, after all, that Fayyad, Weiner, Jeremy Zawodny, and J.R.
| Conlin would leave Yahoo around the same time. For one of them to go to a
| direct competitor must really hurt.

P. Graham: Microsoft is Dead
,----[ Quote ]
| A few days ago I suddenly realized Microsoft was dead. I was talking
| to a young startup founder about how Google was different from Yahoo.
| I said that Yahoo had been warped from the start by their fear of
| Microsoft. That was why they'd positioned themselves as a "media
| company" instead of a technology company. Then I looked at his face
| and realized he didn't understand. It was as if I'd told him how much
| girls liked Barry Manilow in the mid 80s. Barry who?
|
| Microsoft? He didn't say anything, but I could tell he didn't quite
| believe anyone would be frightened of them.
