This morning I read an article on how Microsoft rescinded its bid for Yahoo!. Honestly, who cares?!
This merger should have never been a consideration in the first place, and it is less of a topic for technological and innovative debate and more a point for financial traders to speculate on. These companies are giant money pits, nothing more at this stage.
I am absolutely certain that the only way either Yahoo!'s or Microsoft's respective lack of innovation could decline is if they were to join forces; these are most certainly not the companies shaping the future of technology. What is the last major innovation that Microsoft has made? It's Windows Vista- the operating system that die-hard Microsoft fanatics are protesting more adamantly than any other product in the company's history.
Microsoft is chasing around a burnt-out Dot Com has-been and all the while Google is quietly developing free, innovative web-based alternatives to Microsoft Office. Microsoft is starting to remind me of major record labels- not only are they blatantly ignoring their customers' cries for help, they're lashing out at them while others are silently innovating. When you start attacking people instead of improving, it's usually because you're insecure- that applies to both bullies and multi-billion dollar enterprises.
If you don't believe me, see why Microsoft is Dead.
Stumble it!
