The Dark Side
Well, this is rather ominous news. Microsoft buying Yahoo. I've read the rumor before, but never seen Yahoo stock jump $5.00 because of it. Yikes.
When Symantec bought Veritas, they wanted to make sure both companies had the same benefits. Our free soda machines went to $0.25 to align ourselves with Veritas. Shouldn't it have been the other way around?
At Yahoo, not only do we have free sodas :-), but a free professionally run cappuccino bar. They can take over when they pry the coffee from my cold, dead hands. Give me free caffeine or give me death! Actually I'm off the coffee now, but still, it's the thought that counts.
Interesting times.
Will this mean my stock vests? Woo-hoo! Or is that Yah-hoo!
What about my laptop? Half the engineers have Mac PowerBooks. Though you can argue that they do run Microsoft Office.
Wait and see. Wait and see.
