I believe Microsoft has hit hammer at right time Google's earnings has dropped and Yahoo is struggling to where Microsoft is going strong. Togather Microsoft and Yahoo will make it more tougher for Google to remain on top 319003@desicritics.org Sun, 3 Feb 2008 07:31:44 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/02/01/134404.php#comment-318972 Y! IM is a service? Oh yea, I forgot. I am willing to bet that there are more MSN/Windows Live IM users than Y! IM users. 318972@desicritics.org Sun, 3 Feb 2008 00:56:37 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/02/01/134404.php#comment-318911 yes i agree goog/aapl partnership makes more sense than merger. Even this deal of msft/yhoo will take time and wont be as easy. goog's bid for Doubeclick is yet to materialize after almost a year so msft bid fr yhoo will definitelt take more time. 318911@desicritics.org Sat, 2 Feb 2008 03:37:12 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/02/01/134404.php#comment-318907 Yahoo is junk anyway. Except for IM I don't think there is any one service of Yahoo that is worth talking about. 318907@desicritics.org Sat, 2 Feb 2008 02:53:29 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/02/01/134404.php#comment-318894 that would be like Toyota buying GM...Google/Apple will never happen 318894@desicritics.org Sat, 2 Feb 2008 00:38:40 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/02/01/134404.php#comment-318877 AAPL is way too expensive even for Google 318877@desicritics.org Fri, 1 Feb 2008 20:45:15 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/02/01/134404.php#comment-318857 good point anon but when money talks people pay attention too :) 318857@desicritics.org Fri, 1 Feb 2008 17:05:08 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/02/01/134404.php#comment-318856 Steve Jobs would never agree to a sale of Apple to any other company. Apple is doing well right now and succeeding why would they hand their business over to Google? An Apple Google partnership makes sense but don't count on an Apple Google merger. Google is not about to sell itself to Apple either so a partnership would make more sense -- which to some extent they already have. They have partnered on bringing Google web apps to iPhone for example, and are working together in other areas as well. 318856@desicritics.org Fri, 1 Feb 2008 16:49:34 EST
