Who are you calling a Theropod?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Yahoo has been hanging on for years. I avoid Yahoo like the plague because they seem to attach themselves to installs of freeware (I hate software like this), and thus try to sneak in to be your search engine. The sooner it dies the better.

I wanted to place a bid of $5, but realized I might win.

Is that $5 to you or from you?

LOL!! Be careful out there.
Also, I believe this proves that the purchase of Tumblr was not unfounded. It was definitely a sound business decision.

Don't they own half of AliBaba/Ali Express?
I think we're looking at a change of focus, rather than a collapse.

Well, that's not very encouraging.

Well yes, they're changing their focus from the massive leak at one end of the boat to the massive leak at the other end of the boat. It won't stop them sinking though. The general opinion is that if you gave the current board a goose laying golden eggs they'd manage to starve it or lose it in days such is their singular failure to make anything worthwhile out of their Alibaba deal.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

They were tinkering with the idea of spinning off the alibaba part but it looks like they scrapped it.

They're currently looking at going the other way around for tax reasons. Selling/spinning off their share of Alibaba would result in a huge capital gains hit. Instead they're going to sell/spin off everything else. Old-Yahoo will become a holding company with IIRC $30bn of Alibaba; New-Yahoo will hold all of their other businesses and their share of Yahoo Japan. The latter may or may not result in a second round of selling off; it's a healthy business worth more than the giant pile of mediocrity that is the remainder of Yahoo. I've seen claims ranging from it and Yahoo-everything else sharing nothing but a name; and that while Yahoo.jp is independently run the two companies share a lot of back end tech that would make a formal breakup painful.
A breakup of some sort is all but assured; the mismatched conglomerate discount on Yahoo at present is about equal to the ~$5+5 bn valuations for Yahoo.jp and Yahoo.everythingelse. IOW the company as a whole is trading at roughly the value of its Alibaba stock. Partly this is that the longterm health of yahoo.everythingelse; and partly the standard conglomerate hit from the different parts of the company appealing to different types of investor, who are all discounting the value of the parts they don't care about.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
