Why are tech shareholders so greedy? Yahoo defends itself from a hostile takeover, and Wall Street punishes them for shunning a suicide payday.
Now, Google reports spectacular growth, and Wall Street punishes them for not growing spectacularly enough.
Uh, what?

Like Michael Arrington, I now ban all Associated Press stories from all my blogs. That includes Tech Side Up, Inside Online Video, and The Mike Abundo Effect. I have absolutely no tolerance for copyright trolls who want to control their content beyond the extent allowed by law. Their right to protect their content ends where […]
Before anything else, let’s make one thing clear: I do not dislike the iPhone 3G. Unlike its predecessor, it delivers many of the standard features of today’s smartphones, for a surprisingly low price.
Unlike its predecessor, it actually supports third-party apps. Admittedly, it will only support Steve-approved apps, but sacrificing flexibility for stability is simply the […]
One of the biggest hurdles to open source software adoption is that it requires you not to be a moron. Unfortunately, too many people just don’t meet that requirement. Consider the following Amazon customer review of Ubuntu posted by Ernesto Granillo III of Riverside, California:

Few things are sadder than a technology company giving up on technology. That’s exactly what Microsoft’s been doing.
They’re paying an ad agency $300 million to rebrand themselves as “cool”. I have a better idea: how about they spend that money to build products that are actually cool? In a world where one guy can build […]
Heh. I figured Facebook’s data portability “initiative” was nothing more than panicked lip service. Today they’ve banned Google Friend Connect from the Facebook API.
Here’s the funny part: they say it’s because Google Friend Connect “redistributes user information from Facebook to other developers without users’ knowledge.” Ha! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer must love the taste of crow. Right after dissing Facebook, he bought into it. Now he’s dissing Yahoo’s higher-than-expected Q1 earnings, saying he won’t raise his takeover bid.
Yeah, right. Steve-O’s bravado isn’t fooling anyone. Remember when Microsoft was trumpeting Vista as the next big thing? Now Ballmer admits Vista is an […]
Microsoft produced this ridiculous internal video about Vista supposedly as a joke, but it’s very telling that people thought it was for real. Redmond’s reputation for stupidity is so well-established, you just can’t tell if they’re kidding anymore.
Hell, I doubt this was really a joke. Microsoft probably just made that excuse after seeing people’s horrified […]
Sorry, Frankie. What you propose is a crime.
See, this is why we need patent reform. Apparently, flying by the moon is now illegal.
Last month, SES Americom launched commercial geostationary satellite AMC-14. Unfortunately, they screwed up, and now the thing will fall to Earth within days. They could have stabilized its orbit with a lunar flyby, […]
Technology is a cult. Let's monetize cats!
