Why Apple and Google are winning
,----[ Quote ]
| Google has won the search wars primarily because Google focused first on
| pleasing consumers. It didn't try to stripmine the search experience in
| search of every last penny of profit from ads, the way Yahoo! and Microsoft
| did. These latter two littered their pages for years with absolute rubbish,
| neon advertising, making the search experience feel like Vegas.

| dashboard to unify and manage their Yahoo services.

Is Microsoft Weaker After Failed Takeover Bid?
,----[ Quote ]
| The cliché "Go big or go home" is a business philosophy that Microsoft's CEO
| Steve Ballmer is used to embracing in a bear hug – nearly always, as is his
| impetuous nature, on the side of going big.

| [...]
|
| The rare defeat leaves Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) weakened, a pair of analysts
| said, but nonetheless committed to continue forward on its own. Meanwhile,
| some observers wonder whether the battle might not be over quite yet.
