how long before Microsoft ruins Yahoo?

I’m not hearing much blog consensus on the possible acquisition by Microsoft of Yahoo!

Google is troubled by the Microsoft move.

Me too. But for completely different reasons. I like Yahoo! and use some of their online products. It will take some years, but I expect any kind of merger will be messy and ultimately damaging to leading Yahoo products like flickr.

On the other hand, this would spur Google to even greater innovation in the short term. Might be good for the consumer.

From Microsoft’s point of view, it’s probably a good move. They need to do something to get relevant online.

By the way, at Stanford University in California, Google and Facebook are battling to hire computer science undergrads before graduation. Starting salary $92-95K.
