Humberto's Thoughts

I finally decided to replace my old's car factory speakers. I went for two pairs of "Crunch" speakers that, as it is said from where I come from, "ni en su casa los conocen"-"they are not even know in their own home". Still, they do a good job; hopefully we will replace them, along with the car :), in a year or so.

I recently read a post on a public blog: http://blog.sforce.com/sforce/2007/05/search_beyond_t.html The statement that shocked me was: "...Google speed for all information in the system..observing that Google's search results are more valuable because they're fast than because they're exactly what you want (which they usually are not)." Really? Is speed more important than accuracy? Or is it that people is not really looking for something specific enough that a bunch of good enough results suffice? An if speed is what matters most then... why live.com hasn't yet surpassed google? its speed is perhaps even faster than Google. The truth: Google results are damn good AND their are fast.

My oppinion: it is not going to happen, at least not this year. Why? Different cultures Duplicated services Yahoos don't like their CEO (mmm there maybe a coincidence here actually) Yahoo stock is still overpriced (yes, even with the money they have lost in the past year) Why not this year and maybe next one? If Yahoo keeps falling behind Google its stock can reach a very attractive price point for Microsoft.
