Remember when Amazon was JUST a online book store? Now what does it sell? Toys, DVDs, lawn furniture, cooking stuff, music cds, cell phones, electronics, games, cars and God knows what else. I seriously doubt the Car department of Amazon is very profittable, or the lawn furniture one either. Maybe their problem is they are trying to be the uber-end-all-do-all-sell-everything online store. Perhaps they've become too broad for their own good
What does this have to do with Yahoo? Well, remember what Yaho did in the beginning? It was a search engine. Now it's a chat service, email service, new service, personals listing, an instand messaging program, weather forecasting, auctioning, and God knows what else site. the problem is that yahoo makes a lot of revenue from advertising, but, ads to be sucessful need to target an audiance. Yahoo is trying to attract EVERYONE, therefore targetted ads are near not as effective. Perhaps Yahoo's biggest mistake was trying to be the uber-end-all-do-all-everything-is-here website they are trying to be today...

Call this unpopular if you wish, but maybe if a network is held liable civilally for damages it causes in a DDoS, should the admin be notified of the problem and refuses to act, would help shut down a lot of unsecure networks, imho.
