oh the same old blather. what your post boils down to is the lame "meeting maker" crap layered on excrete. nothing else in your list is noteworthy or unique.

Sorry, but you've clearly never worked in a large company that had an actual IT department. yes actually i do. and no, no one cares what email client i use name three real companies where every employee is FORCED to use outlook

the point of a cdn is to give you an SLA and honor it. how they configure their delivery platform should be opaque to you, its not like you are going to be getting a shell on the cdn machines anyway

best approach to de-retarding outlook: don't use it now let me guess a thousand respondents will tell me they are "forced" to use outlook. i call bullshit. where are these mythical phbs that walk around checking on what mail client you are

It is obvious in retrospect never at the time i strongly disagree. indeed the only party that didn't see the msft deal as a no-brainer were in management and the board.

Consider this: Yahoo is #1 in the WORLD based on traffic (Alexa.com). But nobody will touch their stock? The writing is on the wall. Like I said, there is a downward trajectory there. Good companies find a way to leverage a #1 ranking into

the reason Macs are so expensive is that they don't (generally) skimp on parts are you kidding? they sell inferior hardware for more cost. it is trivial to locate a vendor selling better performing hardware for less cost

but I have yet to read ANY good suggestion for turning around Yahoo there isn't one. google's momentum in taking marketshare hasn't diminished one bit. yahoo has less share in ad dollars then they did two years ago. there really isn't muc

wonder what kind of person they'll go with for the new CEO someone who has no issues with cleaning house. frankly they should have gone with an axeman after semel in order to clean up the company. you bring in the axeman, let him cut for

the web is drowning in development tools from appjet to google app engine. web developer tools aren't making anyone money, so its not clear how they would aid yahoo. what yahoo needs is a time machine to go back to the day before adsense an

it doesn't matter now, its too late. google has taken so much share from yahoo in search, advertising, and soon banner ads, that there isn't an option for "turning around" yahoo. that was 2006. the next ceo really only has one job - fire ha

I hate your attitude if that's the case... lawlessness is not something i'll tolerate, no one should. don't confuse my post with advocation. if insider trading pisses you off, do a little research into corporate taxation...you'll be amaze

but going back to a point i make...there are also lots of people are indeed trading on insider information but don't even know it, because they don't know the full spectrum of SEC insider rules. there are millions of trades every day, by in

Do you have stats to back this up? of course! go look at any pivotal event in a stock to the upside or downside...look at the huge trading blocks that take place just before the huge swings (in either direction) just prior...do you think
