Really interesting thread, but if microsoft and yahoo become one... will they be able to compete Google? Thanks...
Microsoft is making money out of many sources; let say Communication for example - Blackberry Phones or Smartphones? They are using Microsoft Operating System. 1.Blackberry/Smart Phone Sold = Microsoft OS sold. (and who says Microsoft is ripping off Apple ideas? Apple's iPhone is just as the same concept as this one; they use Mac OS. One good example of Apple RIPPED off Microsoft) They don't have to care about Making a ZUNEphone... 2. Internet. MSN / Windows Live. etc. 3. Operating System. We all WEBMASTERS and we all damn know (for those who uses GOOGLE ANALYTICS) that majority of users OS is WINDOWS. and BROWSER is still Internet Explorer; not SAFARI and not Firefox! 4. Microsoft Products, mouse, keyboards, monitors etc. 5. SOURCES THAT WE DON't KNOW and HAVEN't BEEN MENTIONED. (this exist) They can afford Yahoo! and they can buy it for more than 50 Billion.
Bill G is affiliated with the Illuminati and things like Planet Parenthood. A site like Yahoo can yield a lot of power and potential for the organization.
this doesn't have much to do with this thread, but I think it is a pretty cool little app that I found while searching on this topic, that shows the acquisitions of Google, Microsoft, and yahoo over the past few years. Check it out! http://www.shmula.com/blog/timelines/google-microsoft-yahoo/g-y-m.htm
Why microsoft is mad to buy yahoo..? They have a lot of money, but they don't have any ideas to fight google.
Even if Microsoft buys Yahoo this does not guarantee that they will topple Google. Although they will try their hardest.
It hurts their bottom line. Microsoft is moving from software developer to a service business and this includes online advertisement. Hence, direct competition with Google.
I actually posted about this on my blog. You can trust the users here, or you can trust a mutual fund analyst http://www.thenetfool.com/microsoft-yahoo-takeover/ Essentially, Yahoo is going to be used by microsoft to erode Google, they are going to go ahead and set them up as a loser and make them essentially destroy themselves as a sacrifice offering in order to stall Google's progress
