its a good deal for stockholders I think. If you read the hype Yahoo is not doing to great(which I find hard to believe as they make a load of cash).

I think the combined search powers could be really good.

take a look at the annual data. they may be profitable, but a 62% fall in net income over 3 years, that's pretty bad.

yeah good point but they are not losing money and I think you will see google do the same thing in a few years once they hit the peak for their products.

Yahoo's problem seems to be the management and the fact they are still playing catch up with adsense.
