Yahoo - has so much potential, but their leaders have burned out!!!! Look at Google and model after them, forget Microsoft, they haven't a clue how to make money on the internet, they are too slow and make too many mistakes.

Even if they don't know how to make money they are in a way better position than a lot of the Internet Company's. Microsoft's Licensing 6.0 contracts are money in the bank.

Okay, the idea of sending a taco truck to park outside Yahoo and conduct on the spot interviews for another company is pretty darn clever. And while Yahoo no doubt doesn't like it, they can't really take any sort of public action either or face a horrible PR nightmare as a result.

Free tacos! Tacos rule!

I think these cutbacks are not necessary. But just to please the shareholders for the stupid decisions Jerry Yang made. Common people pay when the "Heros" screw up.

CEO as ASS nothing less or more because their life is not effected. It is common human mind set that till nothing happens to me why should I care..
