Once upon a time there was a struggling young artist. His name was Walt. He was drawing circles on a clipboard one day and came up with what was to become an American icon. Mickey Mouse, and from that came forth the "House of Mouse". Still... it was a struggle in those early days. Walt and his scheming almost bought the farm when he came up with a crazy idea to make a full length movie presentation cartoon. Those were tough times for Walt as he just had only a few bucks from the success of Steam Boat Willie. He decided that perhaps the story of Snow White and her friends might be in the public domain. So for a very few bucks he acquired the rights to the story. that was just the beginning of his expenses. Next he had to sign the charachters to their contracts. Now Snow White , she was a sweet heart and came to terms quite easily. The real trouble started when it became evident that "Doc" and "Grumpy" were going to get 10% more than the other Dwarfs (small statured persons) for being co-stars.

Now how do you think that sat with "Greedy"? Well it turned out "Greedy" was a little bent out of shape over all this. Hey, it was just his nature! Walt wanting to keep things true to the story line tried working with "Greedy". He even offered him a couple hundred extra cells in the dinner table scene. But Greedy just wasn't going to let things go through without something more significant than what was on the table. In the end Walt handed him his pencil and told him that it would really be best for everyone if he would just sign his deal. Greedy knowing full well he was worth way more took the pencil and threw it at Walt. It bounced off Walt's chest and onto the table. Walt picked up the pencil,turned it over, and rubbed Greedy out! So "Greedy" ended up "out of the picture" so to speak. At times it just does not pay to be "Greedy"! And that's how the song about "Greedy" ended up in Sammy Gravanno's Christmas album..".Sammy Sings his Greatest Hits"

Hello MaxProfit81,

Deal or no Deal, Yahoo is still the #2 web search engine.

The last time I've checked

#1 Google
#2 Yahoo
#3 Baidu
#4 MSN
#5 NHN
#6 eBay
#7 Time Warner (including AOL)
#8 ASK.com and related
#9 Yandex
#10 Alibaba.com

Finally, there's more than one fish in the ocean! I personally would like to see some sort of alliance of Yahoo, Baidu, Time Warner (includes AOL), and Alibaba.

From Valunvesthere.

P.S. I like the story, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Steve should pay more to the Yahoo employees who built Yahoo through the years and who are excercising their stock options.

Google is at the high end of the market while YHOO is in the opposite end. Where Microsoft would like to position itself, that is the question!

Yahoo!'s few attempts at social networking have fallen flat. They have the user base, the technical skills, and the Facebook-type content and IM platform, but I don't think they truly understand what a social network is and have no idea how to capitalize on one.

In other words, they're a perfect fit for the culture at Microsoft.
