Yahoo! ..Thanks for the memories

2-8-08:  As a Yahoo! user ourselves, the thought of Microsoft buying the company is unsettling. If the deal goes through, shareholders will make a little money, but the Internet as we know it will forever change. The fat cats will walk away with a huge pay day. Wall St. analysts will get their bonuses and capitalism will reign. The executives, the bankers and lawyers will be smiling all the way to the bank. Unfortunately, there is always a loser in situations like this; the biggest loser will be the employees. Nobody seems to care about the thousands of employees that will be fire. In fact, when the layoff happens, Wall Street will probably bid up the stock. Capitalism is sometime harsh and unfair. Best of luck to those Yahoos that will walk into the office one day and be told that’s their last day.
