So here's a potentially dumb question. A lot of commenters are expressing optimism that a company could buy Yahoo and do something good with it.
If that's the case, why can't Yahoo do something good with itself? If all it takes ("all") is dropping the parts that aren't profitable, why can't Mayer or some other CEO do that?
What's the real benefit of another big player buying Yahoo, if Yahoo couldn't save itself? What's the real hope there?

It's just all over the place as to what it's doing (media, search, email, odd sorts of services like Flickr and Tumblr...). I just don't get how Yahoo even survived this long. It seems to me it's just a fluke of the market I feel.
