Microsoft Lures Jobs Away from Apple, Steve Jobs
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft announced yesterday that Apple CEO and Chairman
| Steve Jobs would be joining Microsoft as its CEO replacing
| Steve Ballmer, whose performance in that position has been
| disappointing to investors. This broadens Microsoft's raid
| on Apple employees, which had only been focused on Apple
| Store managers.

| So in came Bartz, and the deals started happening. We've
| mostly kept quiet. Any new CEO deserves a honeymoon phase,
| and Bartz barked at journalists to keep their opinions to
| themselves on her first day at Yahoo: "It's been too crazy.
| People outside Yahoo deciding what Yahoo should do,
| shouldn't do. That's got to stop."
|
| But the honeymoon ended when Yahoo signed away its most
| important asset for next to nothing. Yahoo went from being
| in the enviable position of no. 2 in search to just another
| portal, albeit a big one. And despite what Bartz said, she
| held out hard for a big up front cash payment. Microsoft
| never gave in, and Yahoo caved.

Microsoft, Alibaba.com Execs Join Yahoo in Noticeable Share Dumps
,----[ Quote ]
| In recently criticizing Yahoo!'s (YHOO) insiders for dumping
| $233mm in stock over the last 2 years, when they've only bought
| $103k in shares, I would be remiss if I also didn't call out 2
| other executives for big share dumps last week:
|
| 1. Craig Mundie, head of research and strategy for Microsoft
| (MSFT). Craig decided to sell stock worth $1.7mm recently.
| Craig has resided over Microsoft's R&D efforts for the last
| few years. This group eats up nearly $10 billion annually of
| Microsoft's free cash flow. It is the group Microsoft looks
| for to compete in mobile computing or other areas, rather
| than buying a leading company such as, say, Research In
| Motion (RIMM). The R&D group has eaten up about $60 billion
| of Microsoft's cash in the last 10 years with not much to
| show for it. This latest share dump is very disappointing to
| me as a MSFT shareholder, especially given his group's
| performance.
