Yahoo was mismanaged to an utterly stunning degree before her time, so I don't doubt that a more sensible approach is going to do net-good things for them.
Yes-Yes-and Yes. Yahoo decline always bothered me. I
think their stock will eventually be higher than Google, as
long as they don't start acting like Google. Yahoo
still has historical stock API's, while Google decided to
hog the info, and is most likely charging. I wish I bought
Yahoo stock a few years ago.
