Mathew's comments: Buying things isn’t the hard part

    Like you stated if the numberrs actually stand up the deal is great for Yahoo as long as they don't mess things up to much (real revenue-good stuff). The very focused audience is great for ad sales. They'll save some decent cash on the back-end tech costs since Yahoo should easily be able to incorporate that into their network.

    Agred. It might be worth revisiting what Steve Jobs had to do at Apple to get them back on their feet. It's easy to point at the new products but there was a lot of project-killing as in the Newton, stopping the clones, and winnowing down the products to a matrix. At the time many of those moves seemed dangerous and angered people (especially the employees whose projects were axed) but maybe some bold moves are in order at Yahoo!. I think, sadly, you know what I'm hinting at...
