Here’s the beginning of a joke for ya… What do you get when one overgrown giant devours a small planet? My punchline is… probably a lot of gas!! It seems that Micro (cough) soft wants to buy yahoo for 44.6 billion or 31$ a share. For those of you that are not quite sure how much 44.6 billion is, you could buy 446,000 houses that were 100k each or win Who Wants to be a Millionaire 44,600 times. That means you would have to answer 669,000 questions correctly. (weird guy looking over my shoulder) “Ok math time is over Chris!!” Sorry, I see big numbers and my brain shorts out more than usual. So if this deal goes through we can be sure of three things…
- Microsoft will still suck
- If Yahoo didn’t suck, it will start to
- I am still poor
So here is what I am hoping for… in response to this deal actually happening, Google offers Linux a partnership, takes over the net, and we all die happy. I know, I’m a dreamer, but hope is all I have left.
