Interesting to see it finally actually happened, based on all the drama and history. 
I suspect it also explains how aggressive the folks at Google have been with introducing new applications and services...

Precisely.
I wonder if they'll have time to make YIM an autoloading nuisance on Windows 7 installations?  |

As long as we can avoid it by making simple and persistent choices in the software that we use, I'm all for raising the search engine bar.
I do have a nagging objection to the commercialization of the Web and the constant bombardment of advertising that will surely result from Yahoo's concentration. Yahoo in particular was getting awfully good at feeding the user a page of different links that all seemed to lead to the same commercial site.

Already faced with significant unemployment the nice folks at Silicon Valley get to read this:
Quote:
|
Yahoo estimated the deal will boost its annual operating profit by $500 million and save the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company about $275 million on capital expenditures a year because it won't have to invest in its own search technology. An unspecified number of Yahoo engineers will lose their jobs as the company scales back, Yahoo Chief Executive Carol Bartz told analysts in a Wednesday conference call.
|
The full extent of layoffs really won't be known for up to two years, helping the State stretch out what I call "The Great California Slump":
Quote:
|
But the deal isn't expected to close until early next year, and then it could take another two years before all the pieces of the partnership are in place worldwide. The companies first will give antitrust regulators time to review the proposed partnership's effects on the Internet ad market and then it will take time to stitch together their different technologies.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. antitrust regulators have requested more documents in their probe of Microsoft Corp's deal to provide search engine technology to rival Yahoo Inc, the two companies said on Friday.
Both Microsoft and Yahoo confirmed that the Justice Department's antitrust division had made a second request for documents, which indicates a decision to conduct a deeper review that could take months.
