Microsoft = Evil Part Deux

[Topher]

ello ello MS-Topher

I prefer the phrase "Topher, PowerPoint rock star!"

Microsoft is like in the end of 'The Jerk' when Naven said was leaving and said 'All I need is this (one thing), I don't need anything else... except this (one other thing... and another thing... and another...) and that's all I need.'

I can't believe I didn't see this before cuz not only is it a perfect anology ... it's funnier than ****!

If you think about it enough ... you'll see that, in a way ... you answered your own question.

...I'm going to be polite here and say that your vagueness isn't doing you any favours.

Since you're being polite, I hope that means that after a rocky start, we can at least try to get along. Yes?

If so, and you really want an explanation, I'll do the best I can.

O...kay? I was sorta expecting the explanation to be in the reply, but y'know...

First of all, this is my first time on any BB so I'm pretty much learning as I go along. Been using email for years but it ain't quite the same.

Second - I wanted to know where you're comin' from so I wouldn't be wasting my time.

So here's the explanation:

Having a clear mind doesn't mean you can't see the whole picture. On the contrary. It allows you to be more aware of all aspects of the "situation" and come to the best possible conclusion by making an unbiased choice . When there's a bunch of "stuff" running around inside your head, rather than the "facts", your perception is distorted and what you think you know or see or understand, isn't necessarily true or real.

... and ... expectations can be very disappointing.

But it's literally impossible to make an unbiased choice on a matter of opinion, such as this! There isn't nearly enough relevant facts to do so.

You're doing it again...

aaah - now I see our problem. You're talking about the issue of Microsoft buying Yahoo and I'm talking about big business. Guess that makes us both right.

Sorry about that - sometimes my sense of humor takes over and I lose control. Guess I should have done this instead.

Anyway, I hope this is all cleared up now.

Back on the original subject; the Yahoo! board rejected the bid and apparently Microsoft isn't giving up, they are going to attempt a hostile buyout/takeover.
