When does Yahoo innovate? (Score:1)

"Buy[ing] someone in the space they want to enter" is exactly what Yahoo does. Overture (search engine), eGroups, del.icio.us, flickr, Oddpost, Zimbra, etc.

I believe the Microsoft take-over is more about eyeballs than technology. MS could spend all that money to develop some really great technology but getting people to really use it is a little trickier than that.

  Yeah, you are probably closer to the truth. I am a bit uncomfortable with the fact that google has most of my person information now but I may have to move my flickr pics to them if MS takes over.
