    So basically right now Yahoo! are going through the classic stages of nwe leadership right while its ship is sinkig

    The classic stages being. "rip up a load of projects the last boss started"

    That'll be followed by "mass layoffs" as they realise they've wasted a load of money researching projects now stopped.

    This will be followed by "an amazing announcement" normally one or two of the cancelled projects brought back with a new team and descriptions to make it sound original

    Of course this'll be over a 2 year period of no revenue, after which yahoo will die because they only spent and didn't cash in.
