Good grief, Yahoo

I do hope Yahoo’s beleaguered top brass didn’t spend all weekend thinking up this defense strategy.

“Yahoo Inc would consider a business alliance with Google Inc as one way to rebuff a $44.6 billion takeover proposal by Microsoft, a source familiar with Yahoo’s strategy said on Sunday.”

You’re supposed to be in competition with them, no? Indeed, that’s why you’re in this hole. Unless you really, really think content - the only bit of your business in which there isn’t real overlap with Google (and even then…) - is where your future lies. Really?
