No. Yahoo as a brand will continue to exist. Verizon will own the brand.

No. Nothing changes for the products. Altaba is a new company that just owns stock in Alibaba and Yahoo Japan. Tumblr will be owned by Yahoo Holdings, which will be owned by Verizon. Yahoo Weather will still be Yahoo Weather.

Yahoo is splitting into two companies: Yahoo Holdings and Altaba Inc. Yahoo Holdings owns the "Yahoo" trademark and is being sold to Verizon. Altaba is an investment company that owns everything that is not being sold to Verizon.

Could someone who knows about network engineering give a quick summary on whether the claims make any sense? I do mostly front-end and to me they look like "that's just how the Internet works".

Big misconception: Yahoo is profitable, it's just not growing.

I use them when sharing links to things that have seriously long URLs. For example, a link to Google Maps looks like this: https://www.google.com.ar/maps/preview#!q=Great+Pyramid+of+G... (291 characters long). And other people use service

I'd say it's Nicole's OOCSS with extra annotations like -- and __. It's also worth noting that this makes a lot of sense when you think about it, but from thought to application there is a big gap and it's not an easy one to cover. It takes

I'm not sure by now the language's merits are the number one reason Fortran is used, but rather the amount of proven and super fast libraries for number crunching and array/matrix manipulation such as LAPACK.

It seems that GitHub wants a more "serious" look. I wonder why that is. Do managers dismiss GitHub for Enterprise as a possibility because it feels hackish/unprofessional?

Standing ovation. This is most welcomed news since Opera's move to WebKit to keep the current browser innovation pace. Coupled with Mozilla's announcement of its partnership with Samsung to move Servo forward this is great news for the futu

I finished reading the book recently and one of my first thoughts was "the movie is gonna stink". The book could very well be a Poe story the way it's written. Every word is chosen for the final effect. All the character's development and w

That article deserves a submission of its own! It's incredibly interesting and it touches something that most software developers value: simplicity and clarity. We're used to saying that naming things is the hardest problem in coding, and t

Making Firebug into an extension that works inside the Firefox dev tools (the same way Firebug plugins can add tabs) sounds like the best way to move forward both Firefox and Firebug.

Here's another idea. JSBin is doing something pretty awesome: it uses the HTML5 File API so that you can select a file from your computer and it syncs to different instances of the same bin while you edit it in your favorite editor. Check i
