I guess the plan is just keep the lights on for the people that keep showing up?  I imagine doing nothing is better than fighting a battle you don't know how to win?

That's it in a nutshell dogboy.  I've been waiting and hoping that Yahoo would turn themselves around for the last 10 years.  I've seen few companies that can shoot themselves in the foot more times than Yahoo.  They never seem to learn from their failures.  Now all the portals: MSN, Yahoo, Google, AOL have to fight to remain relevant in the mobile/local web.

Bartz is the wrong CEO for Yahoo they need a Steve Jobs like figure who can think outside the box while also figuring out how to make money doing it.
