Taking the best of both of these not so greats will still leave us with one still kinda good but could still be tons better for the money company. Innovation is the answer. Save your money and get popping on the next wave of tech advancement.

I used to use Yahoo, but Google is so much easier to use that I now use Google. Financially, I looked at Microsoft and Yahoo's common stock prices and was shjocked to find Yahoo at $416/ share. Why doesn't the board of Yahoo approve a stock split designed to bring more investor money into the company for use in making Yahoo more user friendly and thus counteract Microsoft's merger offer?

Neither Google or Microsoft seem to have the capacity for true innovation. When Google first broke onto the scene, AltaVista (remember them?) dominated search. Along came Google and their innovative search, and suddenly the search market was changed. Google itself will only be challenged by innovators just like they were. Those innovators are <em>not</em> going to be Microsoft, Yahoo, or Microhoo, unless there's some drastic changes.
