Microsoft fondles Yahoo! .. again.
As if it wasn’t a surprise, Microsoft is at it again. They’ve publicly announced that they are continuing to “explore” alternatives to their existing services and advertising. Okay? But they’re doing it with Yahoo! right? Please buy something Microsoft. Help us all stimulate our economic lives.
Right from those greedy bastard’s press release:
“In light of developments since the withdrawal of the Microsoft proposal to acquire Yahoo! Inc., Microsoft announced that it is continuing to explore and pursue its alternatives to improve and expand its online services and advertising business. Microsoft is considering and has raised with Yahoo! an alternative that would involve a transaction with Yahoo! but not an acquisition of all of Yahoo! Microsoft is not proposing to make a new bid to acquire all of Yahoo! at this time, but reserves the right to reconsider that alternative depending on future developments and discussions that may take place with Yahoo! or discussions with shareholders of Yahoo! or Microsoft or with other third parties.
“There of course can be no assurance that any transaction will result from these discussions.”

Okay. I know it’s an old movie. What? 2004? But I just got done watching it all the way through for the first time and I have to tell you that it’s the first time in a long time that a movie has made me feel so many emotions at the same time. I laughed, I was scared, I felt sick, and fell in love all at the same time throughout the movie.
I’m not going to lie, it makes me wish that I had someone that is as there for me as Cuthbert was for Hirsh in throughout the length of the movie. They seem to get each other into a lot of trouble, but at the same time don’t sleep until they know the other is OK. It makes me long for something warm and comforting.
Just like its deafeningly arrogant code name, Bold, the newly announced BlackBerry 9000 series is just that; its Bold as hell, regardless of what you conformist hippies think.
This is impossible.
