Uh, right.

Jason doesn't quite know what he's talking about here. Is it "easy" to just 'acquire core technology' and beat Google at search? wow. How dumb is Carol if she can't see this? Which companies EXACTLY would Jason suggest Yahoo have bought to beat them? Is it reasonable to assume Jason would have said anything with forethought, not hindsight?

Further, Marc Davis is *not* scientist of search. Not saying talent hasn't been drained from Search... but the reality is that the amount of investment in people and infrastructure to keep up in search has moved beyond Yahoo's ability to support. READ: YAHOO CAN'T SPEND ENOUGH TO KEEP UP. And no, I do not believe there is a stealth startup ready to snatch the lead from Google at any time.

If you can't beat them - then join them.
That's what Yahoo just did.
Now Bing is stronger to challenge Google.
