Cuban's business plan was posted yesterday. How interesting! It's funny that the reaction from everyone everywhere yesterday was that Carl Icahn didn't care about employees, customers, or anything that didn't result in dead puppies. Now he's got some really bright people on board (and almost on the board) who can make sure Yahoo! returns its investors' investment.

Obviously, he doesn't get that not everybody wants to be associated with Microsoft and that the board felt it was a really bad idea to go ahead with the buyout.

'Cause when you lay down with dogs, you're gonna get fleas.

He's gonna have Steve Ballmer controlling Yahoo. There's nothing bright about that future at all. You see what he's done with Vista? This will spell the end of Yahoo if this idiot gets his way. That's why the people at Yahoo said NO!

They should have accepted Microsoft's offer when it represented a 62% premium to the share price. MSFT will not be returning to bail Yahoo ( or Carl Icahn ) out.

But, if they want to sell at close to the $19 a share price, then maybe... As long a Jerry Yang is fired, & there is no poisoned pills.

Tigger, regarding your comment "not everybody wants to be associated with Microsoft and that the board felt it was a really bad idea to go ahead with the buyout.

HOW'S THAT ACTIVE SYNC LICENSE APPLE JUST BOUGHT FROM MSFT WORKIN'?

OR, THE MICROSOFT EXCHANGE LICENSE?

OR, MS-OFFICE for Mac?

You might want to consider that without Microsoft, Apple would've died off a long time ago.

ITCH MUCH?

if Microsoft hadn't ripped off Apple in the first place they wouldn't have been in that position!

I would like to see Yahoo get by on its own.

There is a huge difference between licensing technology and being bought out.

And stating that "without Microsoft, Apple would've died off a long time ago." is bogus. MS products for the Mac (and there are very few) makes Apple a little more palatable in the business world, but doesn't have near the same effect in the consumer space. And if you are saying that MS bailed Apple out with their $150M in 1997 and that "saved" Apple, you 'd be wrong there too.

What saved Apple from dying off was the return of Steve Jobs and the resultant focus.

Maybe Mr. Yang thinks the answer is in China? I don't want to clutter this forum so you can my analysis here http://www.poandpo.com/business-as-usual/can-jerry-yang-find-help-in-china

Do you think there's something to it, or I'm talking about conspiracy theory?

All you back biters need to realize that none of these people care one whit about anything you posted. It's all about business and what the stock price is. These people do not think about how evil MS is or how Apple is that other less popular brand. It's all about the dollars and you are all deluding yourselves if your think your petty "you suck... no, you suck" fights about vapor mean anything to anyone, anywhere.
