Carl and his two buddies don't sit there on the Board of Directors for leisure. Carl does not even attend important meetings. He's there to stuff the ballot, literally or metaphorically at times. He talks to Microsoft, and vice versa. Meanwhile, Microsoft execs are entering Yahoo! while resistors like Yang are pressured out. Put 2 and 2 together. :-) Doug,

Even without any slice of Yahoo they drive into a debt of $6bn the last time I checked the numberw. Even Apple is wealthier (counting by liquid assets). That’s a cherry on the cake.
