You've said it all......

Holy mother of Jeez! Naija's situation has really gotten the best of you.

The Almighty Yahoo (according to u) hasn't gone down, they have only decided to welcome an externally parental atmosphere, in the aim of working with a new network of services and execution. This move is just another of their quest for a significant growth.

Before this buyout, Yahoo was still meeting their goal of raking in revenues over $1b, quarterly (in three months).

Saying Yahoo fell is like saying Linkedin has gone down for accepting a buyout by Microsoft.

If they had acquired Google, Google wouldn't be has mighty as they currently are, because Yahoo already had problems with executions and networks. They would only have inflicted Google, since Google was only a mere startup as that time.
