Err, Yahoo is making less profit, but it's still making $1B profit on the bottom line last year. Why is everyone acting like it's on it's beyond redemption?

Sure, Yahoo and Microsoft are boring, but they're still profitable.

> Why is everyone acting like it's on it's beyond redemption?

Because the only things that get attention in SV are products with growth. Yahoo is a very profitable company and has billions in the bank, so it'll be around for a while, with or without a rebound.


Who cares about attention in the valley when you're netting $1B?


Microsoft is making so much hand over fist that they don't know what to do with it. Lumping together Yahoo and Microsoft doesn't make any sense.
