Don't like it investors? Sell your shares and leave us alone.

You do know that the shareholders are the real owners of the company?

And no they aren't going to leave them alone, as it is their money that is keeping them in business and in a job.

And yes they do have the ability to kick them out on their butts if they see fit.]]>Jun 12th 2008 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/
GO ICAHN GO!

I hope Microsoft does buy Yahoo. The shareholders deserve a better group of people than the idiots on this board and the nutcase CEO of Yahoo.

Yahoo stock is falling because they didn't accept the GENEROUS offer from Microsoft.

You do understand that people invest in companies to make money, correct? And that the job of the management is to make the shareholders money? And when they undertake actions that sacrifice shareholder money for personal pride, they are not doing their job and can be removed?

Jerry Yang's days at Yahoo! are extremely numbered.]]>Jun 12th 2008 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/Jun 12th 2008 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/

You bought GOOG in 2005? I don't think so. The day GOOG went public, and I remember this very well, I was at the bottom floor of the Columbia Tower in Seattle on a business trip waiting for the elevator. I was talking with a friend about how I wished I could buy Google shares. The elevator doors opened, just as I said "... but all the investment bankers have bought all the shares." There was a woman on the elevator who said, as we stepped in, "are you talking about Google?"

I said "yes, why". She replied that she was an investment banker, and all the shares have been bought. Unless you were very, very lucky, or a Google employee (which makes your comment invalid as you are impartial), the chances of you buying any Google stocks are not probable. In fact, if you do own Google stock, then your entire comment (including that which criticizes Icahn) is laughable, as you are trying to do what you criticize others for - manipulating the market.]]>Jun 13th 2008 4:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/Jun 13th 2008 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/Jun 12th 2008 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/Jun 12th 2008 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/

I think that unfortunately Yahoo! is slowly but inexorably dying from its inability to match Google feature-wise and interface-wise. Why Microsoft even wants to acquire such a company is beyond me.]]>Jun 12th 2008 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/yahoo-and-microsoft-talks-fall-through-once-again/
