His billion dollar marker is drastically high. He has been living in dotcom fantasy land for far too long. There's no reason you can't raise $250k for 25% from an angel investor, to build a $10 or $20 million business. That's a helluva resu

It became an inconvenient statement once Apple conquered the known universe. As is so typical with power and success.

It'll actually end up being a tax benefit while costing them no actual red ink.

The problem with using coercion is, the people using it never believe it's useless regardless of what's coming out of your mouth.

In an actual free market, collusion between companies is legal and occurs regularly. You're talking about a regulated market in which labor is protected by government intervention from collusion between companies.

There has been talk about Google stealing Yahoo back away from Microsoft on an ad deal, so that would also be another reason. It could be worth hundreds of millions per year to land that deal with Yahoo. The legal hurdles are huge though.

There's enough prior art to demolish this easily. It won't even remotely hold up under legal scrutiny if it's ever used by Apple in a lawsuit. I think this is a complete non-issue.

I find the China Study and Dr. Esselstyn's work to be far more interesting in regards to the results of a diet rich in the consumption of animal cholesterol and animal protein.

There are two big evils in American lifestyles: hyper consumption of sugar, and lack of exercise. Americans walk a fraction as much as their grandparents every day, and consume several times more sugar. Worse, we consume insane quantities o

The caves and small places of Earth say otherwise. So do the intense environments on Earth that we've found life in. It's at least as plausible that life can hang on, sheltered in the smallest of places, as it can anywhere else. Micro organ

They can however get kick backs from open source integrators / specialists / consultants / etc. Companies ranging from IBM to Red Hat (a $10 billion corporation). The notion that it inherently doesn't apply to open source is wrong. There ar

They're going to have to literally reinvent themselves. Not in the B.S. wishy-washy way they've proclaimed numerous times. But in the balls out risky reinvention where if you fail, the company potentially gets sold for peanuts. They're not

I didn't compare Armstrong to Mayer. I said the end result would be similar.

Apple is a once in a century example, good luck with that. And besides, I didn't suggest nothing can be changed at Yahoo. I didn't say that at all. I said it should be blown apart, and the stagnant 1990s products should go. Mayer should put

IBM under Lou Gerstner is one of the greatest turn around stories in business history. "How Lou Gerstner Got IBM To Dance" http://www.forbes.com/2002/11/11/cx_ld_1112gerstner.html Also, Michael Dell returning to his company has been a sol

Depends on if you think Mayer has some Steve Jobs magic in her.

This will play out much like Armstrong at AOL. Lots of flailing around, another attempt at altering Yahoo's trajectory, and ultimately a further devalued company (not specifically because of anything Mayer will do, but because there's nothi

Extremely disingenuous. In fact it's a lot closer to flat out lying. The extension creators have 100 million users, not them. They have 7,000 users (developers). They're basically taking credit for all of the work done on all of the extensi

I don't hire someone to brush my teeth for me at $65 / hour or $250 / hour etc. The US Government disagrees with you. "The cost of preparing and filing all business and personal tax returns is estimated to be $250 to $300 billion each year.

America doesn't have a tax base problem, it has a spending priority problem. The total government system in the US collects more in taxes than the entire German economy is worth. You'd think we could have nice roads given that. The problem

Give me a hundred billion dollars in tax money to flush every year and I'll give you a Tesla-like result once every decade. What, you wouldn't consider that a stellar return on investment?

It's always tragic when the profit motive gets in the way of making good products that people want to use. Like in the case of Apple and the way it has made it impossible for them to make great products. Oh wait.
