Yes, the Z-targeting! I'm pretty sure I know the part you're thinking of, and I had the exact same problem, and "got it" the same way as well, after checking with an FAQ.
I guess this is a coup, in a business context, but as far as acquiring a human asset that will bring actual value, how great is this, really?
I'm a Yahoo! shareholder, and I still feel like their assets and market position is "good enough," but they've really dropped the ball in their competition with Google, as far as I'm concerned - especially in areas where Google is starting to horn in on their core market. I used to use Yahoo! as my portal, but now it's just too "loud." (It didn't help that they stopped using Google as their search engine, either.)
If all they can do with this acquisition is improve their infrastructure (search and otherwise) to the level that Yahoo! is achieving now, "coup" might be a little too enthusiastic.

That's cute, quoting the "National Center For Policy Analysis" to make a point about wind power. No partisan agenda there...
