Yahoo proves that desperation breeds rather desperate moves. And make no mistake, I think Yahoo has been remarkably resilient in that any number of the gaffes and missteps they have committed could have done them in any number of times (or at least set the machine in motion full speed) yet have still remained at least tenuously in "the game". But this is bad. Very very bad.

Now as to how this makes SV like HWood, I don't see it at all. I worked with a stack of the studios in a past tech life (one I have no love for mind you) and the gap in terms of approach, the manner and the outlook between MPAA/RIAA/Studio management and the lion's share of tech firms is so wide as to be past the horizon line. They are simply totally different in many fundamental ways.
