Just as hackers hack stuff, just for fun, not for personal/company gain. This whole culture is destructive to yahoo as a company, because they do not have a company focus to develop money making products, and don't try to market the products they do develop into something that generates cash or have potential. If you visit yahoo.com you can sort of tell...a lot of random, questionably useful features but with no real business model...for the individual sections/divisons I mean... Yahoo overall? I guess they're still trying to be in the advertising business like Google is...but no cigar If you know people who work at yahoo, and I know a few…these are your typical computer geeks, people who like to develop things just for fun.

Without some major restructuring, how can their stock ever rebound? I don't know where the bottom is, but if Yahoo does not do something soon, we will surely find out.

We recently noticed that our deposits were not showing up until long after we deposited the funds. We have a small vending machine business and almost everything we make (cash) goes into the same savings account at National. The deposits have been showing up as late as 30 days after the deposit. The account has a substantial amount of money in it but we don't need it for anything, so we have not been worried. However, my husband called National City to find out why the deposits were taking so long to post. They explained that the bank was having some issue and going through some changes and it is a temporary problem. This frightened us, so we started reading about National City on the web. We began to realize that National City Bank is in danger of bankruptcy and if not bought will fail. We also found out that their FDIC coverage may not cover all of our deposits, in all of our accounts. We decided to remove all our money and equity loan to a bank other than National City. Closing our equity line with them was easy because it had a zero balance. we simply opened a new line at Chase and closed the National City line. However, moving our savings and other accounts turned out to be very difficult. We wanted to get a certified check for the funds, so we set up an appointment with National City to do. We went in for our appointment only to find out that the bank could not cover our withdrawal. We were told that the bank was having some small and temporary solvency issues and we would be notified when they could either transfer funds or give us a check. I asked if there was any sort of a problem with our account or had we done something wrong. They politely told us they only wished they had more customers like us. However, it has been almost a month and they have not produced our funds. We have started now working with the Attorney General in Illinois to try to recover our retirement savings. It is apparent that National City is going bankrupt and unless they are bought or bailed out we cannot get our money. We are scared to death that National City will loose both our retirement and the money set up in trust for our mentally handicapped adult child. Does anyone have any advice?!

The $44.6 billion offer comes in at $31 per share. It's going to be a fun ride. Microsoft has basically said that they won't be taking no for an answer. Microsoft has made a bid for Yahoo.
