    Got to admire their timing.

    Google has another headache to deal with.

    GOOG - Google Inc. - Google Finance

    Yahoo - about time someone takes them out. Microsoft has been doing some really cool shit out there .. and I have personally been very impressed with their support team at live.com (had a major problem which they helped us resolve over a week - coupleof months ago. Google on the other hand is still sitting on their arses about a trademark dispute we sent their way about four months ago.)

    I read the article about Google.
    When you increase your profits in ONE quarter by 17% and your stock drops you have to wonder about the madness of it all.
    Google is down 30% from its highs apparently, but no one seems to notice that it was wildly overvalued to start with.

    One wonders if anyone EVER learned anything from the Dot Com experience. Now Uncle Bill is offering a 65% premium and some analysts speak of that NOT being enough. The Kings new set of clothes - or what !!
