Comments on: Ballmer comments juice Yahoo shares

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer says a Yahoo acquisition still makes sense for shareholders of both companies--sending Yahoo shares rocketing upward.

[humanssssss]

"makes sense economically" and make "economic sense" have two different meaning. The former reflects on the self-interest of Microsoft. The latter reflects on the self-interest of society.

Writers are encouraged to both understand the meaning of the quote as well as the context in which it is used to quote Ballmer correctly. It's already hard enough to understand english let alone the meaning english is use.

humansssss,

Do you believe your interpretation is in any way clear or universal understood? If you want to promote yourself as an authority on the subject, you might at least provide some sources that support your position. Or are we supposed to accept that your interpretation is empirically correct?

Ballmer's really stuck on stupid.
What on earth is this guy smoking anyways?
Hey Ballmer you wanna go take over Yahoo, go talk to Yahoo about it. Don't keep shooting off your mouth to the media about it all the time.
The poor abused shareholders of MSGFT have had enough of this is nonsense. Every time there is talk of YHOO being taken over by MSFT, by the world's biggest okro mouth, Steve Ballmer, MSFT stock tanks(like it did in after market trading today)
And it 's been going on for over 7 months. Enough is enough. The water torture treatment for shareholders is enough.
If you wanna do it, do it.
If you don't wanna do it, just shut up about it already.
Ballmer just can't close a deal. And he just can't shut up about it either.

Sucks being a Yahoo shareholder. They had the golden goose and then got greedy. If those Yahoo dorks think their company is worth over $33 a share maybe they should all go mortgage their homes and buy their own stock.
