Yahoo! went down from $300 at its peak to what now? Wasn't Google went up to 700 and went down to 450 ish. I see they rebound now, what about tomorrow and in the future?

Someone who works inside Google confirmed me as well. By the way, their main money making machine is written in a non-hacker platform.

Yahoo never had a lot of great hackers. That's the main cause of their trouble, in fact. They regarded hackers as a commodity.

  How can you say this? Yahoo! is a big company. Blaming their trouble on one thing seems to be absurd. One thing that comes to my mind is that when your company grows, you need business savvy and a good management team. These two are something not "hacker"-ish trait. Google seems to do quite well [Note: For A While] because they made good decisions. It has nothing to do at all with Sergey or Larry coding skill [Reference to your earlier statement that they seem to be a good founder because they're "hacker"]. Remember they almost sold their hit-single to Yahoo! for just about One Million Dollar. It has everything to do with time, luck, and their decisions.
