yes, I am being sarcastic. And yes, it is true I don't really know what they bought (and many thanks to mahmud for expanding on this). My criticism is exactly of Yahoo's strategy. Is the "portal" space a business? How big, important, current is it? What about "news"? Is Yahoo! really strong there? Do they have an innovative product? Really? Do they? Finally, Yahoo! Mail was great. 10 years ago, it was great.
