“Who knew that 2 kids from collage could out think and surpass one of the biggest tech companies in the world.”

Are you on something? Google has never and will never “surpass” Microsoft. Microsoft has been one of the largest, most profitable publicly traded companies in the world for well over a decade. Their market cap it twice that of Google’s, they just reported MONSTER earnings, their profits over revenues destroy nearly every company on the planet, they are sitting on over $20 billion in cash, and they don’t have any debt. Their online services account for 5% of the business. Google is a great company with tons of smart people, but has no place alongside the Microsofts, ExxonMobils, GEs, and Berkshires of the world.

Who knew that a guy who didn’t even graduate from college could outsmart THE WORLD and create the most profitable company in history.

I think that microsofts dance with Yahoo, is just a last ditch attempt to try to catch up with the google giant.

Ballmer’s an idiot Yahoo is trading at around $11- $13 close to 3 times less than what was offered earlier this. Microsoft seems to have shook this off. He should keep his mouth shut and let yahoo come back to them begging for a buy at $15 a share.

What a soap opera. They both know they cannot compete with Google unless they merge. Get on with it already.

Ballmer enjoyed tormenting Yahoo’s shareholders.

“Microsoft has no interest in acquiring Yahoo!”. ? Are they now in denial? Ballmer’s a moron.
