    this is a really good I idea, I've often thought that slashdot handles abuse rather well, except for teh groupthinks and moderator gangs.

    I was thinking of "What Happens in Vegas", yup, I'm pretty sure they've put all the best punch lines in the trailers. You can tell when a movie hits about four different trailers that, yup, you've watched the best fifteen minutes of the movie already.

    I don't know I think if I had that kind of space I might go for dual or triple projectors. After I posted, it occured to me that, that office looks like it hasn't ever been worked in at all, you notice how none of the desks have pens, papers, books, phones, people? It looks more like a monitoring site than any sort of a workspace. I think if it were my personal office I might clear out at least two rows of crap for just some simple table space.

    yeah, you're kinda right. I hate this one though http://valleywag.com/photogallery/Microsoftheadquarters/1001409837 I could get nothing done here, too much ability to see and talk, plus I'd never get to browse slashdot - I'd always feel like big brother was there. this one caught my eye too, diggin' the book layout below the monitor http://valleywag.com/photogallery/GoogleplexWorst/1001410045 of course that might just be a laptop with papers over the keyboard.

    sorry but this is all bullshit, yes shareholders are fucking retarded, you included. the market is going to move down sometimes, you can compare a company's 5yr high to their 5yr low (albeit current price), and say that they are completely fucking things over. Long term profits, according to everything I've read, are much more likely to come from the deal with Google.

    I don't own any Yahoo stock atm, but they will probably get bought for $33 a share; so your and smart money's rhetoric doesn't mean much anyhow

    no it won't, and you can go on and on about how these poor shareholders aren't all millionaires and blah blah blah. I don't really give a shit, they're slash and burn next quarter investors, where a drop of $20 over two years is reason enough to sue? Nah, you might be modded insightful but you are way overrated.

    Google's been a more profitable possibility from day one. Like I said, Yahoo didn't need this as much as MS did.

    I'm not really trying to pick on you, but I think it's funny that people seem to think that none of this occurred to Yahoo. MS needs Yahoo, Yahoo does not need MS, Ballmer might want everyone to think and talk like Yahoo needs this deal, but that's been Ballmer's problem the whole time. He's full of shit.

    your sarcasm is lost. to compare with MSFT, AAPL, and the nasdaq here you need to go out to the max time on the chart and compare from 2000-current.

    Basically, Sun and Apple have performed well against the Nasdaq computer index while MSFT has been chained to the index.

    There's some confusion going around here on this subject, you seem to understand as well as the gp. Yes it's illegal to commit perjury, but it's extremely difficult to prove almost to the point that it's a worthless item to prosecute on. The story reads like they are actually going to push for perjury, what it actually takes to prosecute someone for this I have no idea. I know people lie every day in court, they change their story here and change it there, people are so dishonest prosecuting for perjury basically, amounts to writing someone a ticket for eating ice cream on Sunday.
