SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) — A Microsoft executive on Friday sent workers an upbeat email outlining a vision of how the software giant expects to take over Yahoo and merge the companies' cultures and resources.

I'm not 100% sure I even am a culture on Yahoo, or even part of one, but just the thought, you know? My ISP sources (sources!) its email service and some other services through Yahoo and I use Flickr, which belongs to Yahoo - is Flickr a culture? - and who knows what else. And now Microsoft wants to manage that? I guess so.


Maybe Yet Another Media Empire should look into buying Microsoft, let somebody manage them for a change.
