"Bing is the search engine that's growing. On Yahoo's expense, for Christ's sake. It looks like nobody likes Yahoo Search." - sebmos

"They did. Most of it will go into a share-buyback, leaving her with only a few hundred million to invest." - sebmos

"You probably never worked in any kind of leadership position. Even on a small-time level, you need time to formulate a basic idea into a real strategy. You can always say "let's invest in this and cut that", but it takes deeper knowledge to decide how to cut things, what to do with the people, and how much money actually should be invested. So: She could have laid out her strategy on day one. And nobody would have taken her seriously. Since she knows what she's doing, she took her time." - sebmos

"No, the right way is to make it unnecessary to ever contact a technical person. This wouldn't scale well." - sebmos

"Can't find a better way to ridicule a woman than using magazine covers and fashion, Misogynist? (And don't cry foul now. There's lots of ways to make fun of people other than the same old crap.) Boy how I hate this double standard." - sebmos

"The recommendation actually came from the Pentagon, which didn't want celebrations happening while soldiers were still dying in a different war in a different country." - sebmos

"Seriously, THIS is what you are wondering about?!" - sebmos

"Ahm, no, the issue is more like "There is a widely accepted and used standard (robots.txt) that allows us to tell you specifically what you want and don't want us to crawl and also works with other possible publishers (Yahoo/Microsoft, but also nearly every other legitimate news crawler). So instead of suing us, just use this damn standard that takes you not more than an hour to set up!" Removing them from the search index completely is a harsh "punishment", but if they simply set up a damn robots.txt, they wouldn't have had to spend tens of thousands of Euros on lawyers and saved everybody a lot of trouble. The background is the following: These news organisations want to get money for appearing in Google News. Google says "Why should we - if you don't want to be in Google News, don't be in Google News!" and prove their point by not sending traffic their way anymore, which costs those news organisations a lot of money. The Yelp story is a different one. Very, very different. Yelp..." - sebmos

"You're forgetting an important factor in your "calculation": What if UberMedia does not get to a 1b dollar exit? (Which is a very likely scenario. They are far away from proving they can actually execute on their supposed vision. Actually, they are even far away from proving they can *negotiate*, after failing to finalize the Tweetdeck deal. They are the ones who messed the Tweetdeck deal up so badly that Twitter does even have the chance of thinking about buying Tweetdeck.) A 50m Twitter deal with stocks that might be worth 100m some day is much better than 25m from Uber that might very well end up being worth not more than that." - sebmos

"Hi Matt, If you consider how much time you would spend doing this analysis by hand, the tools aren't that expensive anymore. If you're using them a lot, you'll save hours every day or at least every week. By the way: We offer rebates of up to 19% to customers committing to at least 6 months of service in advance." - sebmos

"As part of the Link Research Tools, we developed two tools that do what you're looking for: Link Alerts (http://www.linkresearchtools.c... find new links to your or your competitor's domain.

"Von wem kommen die Pläne? Land oder Bund? Die Idee an sich find ich gut. Gemeinden sind eine enorme Geldverschwendungsquelle. Interessant wäre zu wissen, ob diese Zusammenlegungen die Mehrheitsverhältnisse verändern. Könnten dadurch mehr FPÖ-Bürgermeister kommen (in Relation natürlich)?" - sebmos

"So news shouldn't reflect on itself? This is one of the more relevant articles, because it shows how ridiculous tech news are when trying to predict things they don't know. In my opinion, writing about that gives the reader perspective. Or not. If it doesn't provide any benefit to you, don't fucking read the article. Or TechCrunch in general, if they write too much about Apple." - sebmos
