I laugh inside when Microsoft loses ground, even in the slightest way. It’s particularly sweet when Redmond loses to a company like Novell, which owned the LAN market it pioneered through the 1990s, only to have it ripped from its grasp by the totally inferior Windows NT. This week Novell’s...

Even though the guy missed, Steve Ballmer might still end up with egg on his face. If the Microsoft CEO fails again to acquire Yahoo, he might do well to open his own diner since he always seems to have a ready supply of eggs.
This time they came his way in Hungary. While giving a speech Monday...

In the past few weeks, we have seen Microsoft trying to acquire Yahoo! for some $46-odd billion dollars. They failed.
So, moving on, they are trying to acquire Facebook now. Mark Zuckerberg is standing firm on this one though. They are decisively saying "no" to the acquisition.

'Cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
~Chris Rea, Fool (If You Think It's Over).
