Really? A name change? Things must have been really bad if the name is tainted.

The yahoo brand has like zero positive association in the US

What's Yahoo's stance on Open source?

I'd open her sores if you know what I mean

What's with the name?
>you alt tab 360 times and walk away

They definitely use it and produce it

Alternative ABBA?

Yea, I'd rename my company too if I leaked over a billion user credentials.

They have their own fucking wiki on data breaches

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_data_breaches

Yahoo doesn't have zero positive association. It's still an iconic and respectable brand even if it's not in the realm of google/microsoft/etc.

Her quitting and renaming the company to altaba sounds more like a last "fuck you" to destroy the company after having pilfered everything possible from it.

You couldn't have sabotaged a company from the inside out any better if you tried.

I want to sniff her asshole so badly.

Do you have a real source for this claim?

Do you have a real mental deficiency?

investor.yahoo.net/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1193125-17-5897&CIK=1011006&soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma

No, but you do if you take anything on zero hedge seriously. You should have posted that Yahoo link to begin with.

>You couldn't have sabotaged a company from the inside out any better if you tried.
What did you just say?

it wasn't a challange nutella please stop

To be honest, pootella only executed the plans that were set in motion ages ago.

Anyway who cares about that shitty company anyway? Bill gates is a criminal.

I really just want to see the look on Jerry Yang's face when he sees this.

Passing up Microsoft was a mistake.

ALTABADELET

It was in reference to Nokia not Microsoft.

But seriously, Mayer actually tried, I think you over estimate the willingness of people who work for a company to change the way they do things.

Yahoo's demise stems from very bad decisions going on every direction since the dot com crash and inability to compete with google since then also, bad purchases and failed investments and products. When Mayer attempted to steer the ship in different direction her character was assassinated on the media she decided instead of fighting back to just sit back and collect that money instead. Can't say I blame her, her efforts were in vain unless she had decided to get rid of over half the entire company.

the sooner bill has all his money depleted the better

i thought that was that android guy before opening the image 2bh
same effect

>unless she had decided to get rid of over half the entire company.
Which she basically did.
So I mean uh, she fucked up, the board fucked up, and that entire organization is pretty much cancer.

Altaba.... More like bwahahahaha

Welcome to the Post-American world

>When Mayer attempted to steer the ship in different direction her character was assassinated on the media
One, when the fuck did that ever happen, and two, Lisa Su went through much worse shit than that and she still managed to make me ten grands richer as a stock holder. FFS, she was even called the most shameful and horrid thing of all by Sup Forums, a title which no man - let alone an actually competent female CEO - deserves to be called: a Poo-in-loo heading a Pajeet company.

>Altaba
what where they thinking?

They incorporated some of Alibaba in the name

great source you got there

btw

trying desperately to inject how wealthy alibaba is into the new name

This is the most retarded thing I have heard all year. Give up the Yahoo name? Seriously?

Who gives a shit if Yahoo has zero positive association? People have fucking heard of it. Marketing 101.

"Altaba"?

Jesus fucking Christ.

Like literally, someone on a six figure salary signed off on this shit. Multiple people sitting around a board room, maybe being collectively paid, a million? two million? ten million a year thought it was a good idea to drop the brandname "Yahoo" for fucking "Altaba". How!? Literally how are so many fucking retards paid so much fucking money?

Is the Valley literally a giant dick-sucking competition? Some massive hipster circle-jerk where people are recruited in sex clubs or some fucking bullshit. A fucking 12 year old could tell you dropping Yahoo was retarded, even if they thought Yahoo was retarded.

Holy fucking shit what is wrong with the world?!

>says the same shit
>8-K already posted in the thread
You tried.

> having a woman as CEO of a computer/tech company

Because the name Yahoo is an literal embarrassment

I didn't keep up with it that much i didn't realise she had done that user.
>One, when the fuck did that ever happen
For a dying company, her name and face was on the news and mouths of lots of critics and "journalists" specially around the time she told the staff to get their asses to the head office to do their job from the office.

>Lisa Su
Not familiar with her or management of yahoo, I been a user of yahoo and many of its weird and now long gone products and services. And from a users point of view, yahoo had many half baked ideas and products that surely didn't come about for free, and that money could have been better invested on the search engine itself. What the hell was the point of buying Alta Vista? What was the point of the Yahoo Music Engine? Yahoo 360? Geocities? Broadcast.com? And others I can't think of right now. To much money down the drain.

Not to the average consumer, and that's who matters

Yahoo did split up a while ago.

They are sitting on a gold mine of owning a large share of alibaba and couldn't figure out a way of bringing that cash home without getting taxed through the ass.

So what they decided to do (or mayer + the board) was to spin off yahoo's core business (mainly the search engine shit) and then have a separate holding company for the alibaba shares it owns.

Likely what they are talking about is yahoo the investment company will be now known as Altaba (i assume some mash up of alibaba and something else) meanwhile yahoo the search engine will continue to exist using that name as they are/will be owned by verizon.

...

Who in a world would think making a non-latin script into latin with transliteration when possible for an individual letter a good idea?

Remember that time yahoo refused MS's offer of $45 billion...
Remember when Mayer didn't want people telecommuting to work but installed a nursery in the office for her child..

Yahoo was too filled with hubris to think they had a standing chance against google in 2008 and turned down a very generous offer.
Now they are sold for a pittance.

Mayers decisions in the company certainly drove some people away too

>altaba
who

Literally the only good thing about Yahoo is how recognizable the brand is.

>That ridiculous diagram in the link

Journalists lying with statistics should do a better job.

That is the most disgusting euphemism I have heard.

I don't believe a female CEO is a good idea, but she was not the reason Yahoo fucked up. But a woman is viewed differently, a woman is not able to do the job properly because they are viewed differently. If a man did the same thing then the results might have been better.

Not quite. For whatever reason, Jerry Yang and friends went out of their way to scuttle the deal because they somehow thought regulators were going to let them merge with Google. Meanwhile, Google was just playing them along while they cemented their hold in the market place. A Yahoo backed by Microsoft's resources would have been a genuine threat to Google.

>altaba
Not sure what is worse, that they couldn't come up with a better name or that they picked this retarded name.

>Not familiar with her or management of yahoo
Lisa Su is the Former Handler of the Certified Shit Wrecker Jim "Intel's a Yeller" Keller and the Mastermind of AMD's rise from pennystock status to $11.70 per share since Nov 2014

Nigger, stop mixing Latin letters with Cyrillic

It's called altaba because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and alt-tab

>A Yahoo backed by Microsoft's resources would have been a genuine threat to Google.

not really

nothing compares to google search and maps at all

RIP in piss, Yahoo

Sup Forums does it because people used to replace latin characters with identical-looking crylic ones to avoid wordfilters

>Marissa Meyer
>Ellen Pao

What is it with female tech company CEOs?

maybe it is for the average consumer too

they're tired of those virus browser toolbars with "YaHoo!" on them, homepages they didn't voluntarily change, etc. that's the only reason i can come up with

the real question is who the hell made the choice to spread those viruses with their brand name that used to have a good reputation on them

I never understood why yahoo was a thing, I mean what do they even do?

i dont know either, ive never used that site for anything

virus browser toolbars, email, search, news...

they're like google but fell behind and resorted to making viruses, i think

>What is it with female tech company CEOs?
Only the competent ones survive

yea but they always looked to me like a cross of a shitty igoogle with viagra ads all over the place, yahoo should have never happened.

>implying that's a female

>people still think Marissa Meyer failed
>people think she was hired to save Yahoo

She did her job perfectly. She was brought in by investors to prop up the share price through cash-burning acquisitions and give them time to cash in on their shares.

Ever heard of activist investing?

Wait a minute, why are all the female CEOs either heart-stoppingly hideous or have voices/laughter like men?
>Pao, ugly as sin
>Su, see above
>Thanatos CEO, voice of a post-op man
>Meyers, laughter of either a horse or the shortest of the Three Stooges

but whats gonna happen to my shitty email address

I'll be amazed if Lisa Su can undo all the damage that came with Hector Ruiz mismanaging the shit out of everything.
>buys ATI and sits on the tech for years
>sells its mobile chip division before the market for its explodes
>spins off its chip fab and still expects it to bend over backwards for the retardation that was Bulldozer

it will be changed to [email protected]

Unlikely, but I don't care anymore since my investments has gone up by 700% thanks to her. Even if AMD were to tank tomorrow, I'm still up by a few thousands of dollars.

Pao somehow managed to sleep half way through her hedge fund before winding up in court.
Su is pushing 50. She isn't looking terrible for that age either.

That name is horrible

>yahoo: 3 half keyboard movements and 1 zero movement
>altaba: 1 full keyboard movement and 4 half keyboard movements
Fuck you yahoo! I ever used you because of your shitty email service for throwaway emails. Now I'm going to have to make 6 half keyboard equivalent movements instead of just 3. Fuck you!

What

Nutella has nothing to do with Nokia.

Unless you're some retard that thinks that the Microsoft acquisition is the reason Nokia went to shit, protip Nokia was bankrupt way before that and for good reason.

What the fuck are you on about?

Also Stephen Elop

>google: about 4 half keyboard movements
I have to move my finger less distance to type out yahoo than most other websites
>Sup Forums: roughly 4 half keyboard movements

I say we rename it to Wahoo!

>renaming brand to pander to the chinese, the biggest population in the world, and a market where google is banned
>hurr durr marketing 101 you're all wrong! you're gonna fail! nobody knows that name, ho!

Solid knowledge. How many fortune 500 do you manage and which ones are they by the way?

I wonder if it'll apply in Japan. Yahoo is huge here. They're even a major phone provider.

pretty sure they are their own thing

This is what happens when you hire someone based on their dick sucking skills

>she does this as she's posing for a fashion shoot

fucking womyn

Looks like you're right. Softbank is the major shareholder. Yahoo! Inc is a little behind (0.9%)

it won't part of the deal was verzion does not get yahoo japan.

>Current Yahoo shareholders will keep the company's lucrative investments in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba and Yahoo Japan. They will be spun into a separate, yet-to-be-named, publicly traded company. The deal also excludes some patents and Yahoo's cash.

ALTABA is the new company that is formed from whatever verzion didn't buy (mainly the alibaba stake + yahoo japan)
It now much more closely resembles an investment company than anything else, it just happens to own yahoo japan.


You guys keep confusing verizon's yahoo with the yahoo that split off.
Verizon's yahoo is still going to be called yahoo,
the split off yahoo is now going to be called altaba

I am already nicknaming it ALT-TABA

>yahoo-be-renamed-altaba
RIP, Yahoo. FWIW, they should have kept the name. Was the last good thing they had.

Yahoo used to have many great things:
>Yahoo mail used to be the best
>Now Gmail laughs at it

>Yahoo news used to be excellent
>Not sure if Yahoo news even exists any more

>Yahoo games used to be fantastic!
>...

>Yahoo groups used to be useful
>...

The world was their, but they let it go.

>redditor stole my shitty reference for karma
I must go back.

verizon still keeps the yahoo name...

>they should have kept the name. Was the last good thing they had.
What was renamed to Altaba is basically the stocks package that owns part of Alibaba and Yahoo Japan. The Yahoo brand is now owned by Verizon, that's why they had to drop it legally.

fucking finally, someone understands what is going on..

Altaba (formerly yahoo) is now just an investment company

Doesn't Yahoo own tumblr?

Isn't tumblr one of the biggest sites on the internet?

How the fuck

Why are they calling it Altaba? Is it because when I use it I'll wanna Altaba outta there to a better website?

Large size does not always mean monetization. Vine, IIRC, was ENORMOUS (Wiki says 200,000,000 users), but not monetized. That failed.

I see. Thanks.

>TFW you will never play pool on yahoo messaged again

>the real question is who the hell made the choice to spread those viruses with their brand name that used to have a good reputation on them


They probably just picked the first they came up with. Same reason why this name change will further tank the "company".

Now this is autism
