The strangest of alliances

Tuesday, 5. February 2008, 09:38:25

After Microsoft announced their plan to acquire Yahoo the strangest of alliances seem to form. Yahoo’s arch-rival Google posted in their official blog about this is bad for everyone, and media is reporting that Yahoo instead is considering allying itself with the same Google. Strange things are indeed happening in the IT business these days.

Another interesting issue is how a possible buy-out of Yahoo would impact Opera Software, considering that Yahoo is the default search engine since a year ago.

Maybe isn't that easy for MS to acquire yahoo afterall.

Yahoo-ers are having second thoughts, there were contacts with google, a special deal between them regarding Google's adsense seems likely.

As the reuters article says the offer isn't that great, is the bad days yahoo! is having right now that makes the transaction possible.

    Så där ja, då har jag som sista familjemedlem fått vaccinerat mig mot svininfluensan. Jag fick den genom jobbet, tydligen börjar det lossna med vaccin nu. Jag kunde fått det via kommunen också, men nu slapp jag stå i kön utanför Tøyensenteret.

  • Thirty-three

    Thirty-three years, almost a third of a century. What is that to celebrate? In half a year, I am half a life from retirement, think about that. I think I rather spend today celebrating Dina’s first birthday. And thinking of my grandmother who would have been ninety-four today.

    Ryanair skall satsa pÃ¥ Rygge flygplats strax utanför Moss, inte sÃ¥ lÃ¥ngt frÃ¥n Oslo. Sedan tidigare flyger de frÃ¥n Torp i Sandefjord, även om de i sin reklam kallar det för “Oslo”, pÃ¥ samma sätt som de kallar VästerÃ¥s och Nyköping för “Stockholm”. ...
