- MSFT vs. YHOO acquisition? In addition to the press releases, YHOO has used their blog to get people on their side.

The venerable law firm’s pricey lawyers sent a bailiff over to my old house - which I had not lived at for about 2 years - with about 1,000 sheets outlining why I […]

You know what would be really cool? A service that allows users to name so-called anonymous sources to determine what is valid and what is hogwash.

The following overview is pretty much a carbon copy of what made IGN Entertainment merge with Gamespy and roll up Rottentomatoes, TeamXbox, etc.
Tech Crunch says the merger fell through, citing personality clashes between Jeremy Wright (whom I’ve spoken to via phone here or there) and Richard Jalichandra, who was the VP at IGN who was […]

BW was the last business magazine I canceled, or should I say, did not renew.
But before me stands a $23 offer for 26 issues. That’s a cheap tab. I am thinking of signing up. Is print making a comeback?
