David Flatley » Microsoft http://www.davidflatley.com A RIA developer's late night ramblings and other nonsense Mon, 22 Mar 2010 15:04:59 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc Hostile takeover for Yahoo? http://www.davidflatley.com/2008/04/07/hostile-takeover-for-yahoo/ http://www.davidflatley.com/2008/04/07/hostile-takeover-for-yahoo/#comments Tue, 08 Apr 2008 02:23:57 +0000 Dave http://www.davidflatley.com/?p=47 So Bill is at it again, gobbling up everything in his path. This time he sent Steve Ballmer to beat up Yahoo! and watching the two companies have a pissing contest is too fun! Yahoo thought Microsoft made an indecent proposal so they sent Steve Ballmer a snippy response, and MS’s answer to that is “tough crap beotch, take our offer or we’ll sweep the rug out from under your feet”. Personally, I think MS should be neutered at this point, buy nothing else until you pay off your bills first (like fines and taxes)

I decided it’s too much fun to watch the big guys go at it and was curious as to what the general consensus is for those following, or involved in, the Yahoo! vs Microsoft match.

It does boggle the mind though to see both companies writing back and forth like two lovers quarreling. I could just see Yang and Ballmer up late at night, chatting on Yahoo! IM.

BigBallmer56: Hey baby, how ’bout a cool 62% premium and we could swing baby YA!!
Yang-A-Lator: ASL?
BigBallmer56: Ughhh……52 M MI, U?
BigBallmer56:…….u there? hello?
Yang-A-Lator:

Come on MS, pay your taxes, fix your OS’s, just retire already and let someone else own a business for once. Personally, I’d rather see Yahoo! stay where they are if only for the fact that I don’t want MS to buy the remaining pieces of the universe that they don’t own already. Give him the hand Yang null
