The jetfuel cost is wreaking the not unexpected helle

They'll merge or hang separately i am dumb & glib, yet it's seemingly
unhappilythe reality

Would Microsoft be better off buying a coupla airlines rather than 15?
billion cash for Yahoo?

Airlines are losing money, why would MSFT be better buying them?

I dunno, contrarianism or doing the unexpected.

Some companies, not only a couple of 2-3 dollar a share obscure air
freight companies, are selling (supposedly) below their "book values,"
and that means if Balmer (Gates) buys
seemingly bargains with MSFT billions in cash or however, there is
potential gain seemingly more
than a whopeedoo combo with Yahoo, which i acnowledge seems relatively
cheap now too, though isn't the internet over-played? Ad revenues are
reportedly off, or declining. I don't really know this firsthand, so
don't ask for "proof" of any of my suppositions & speculations. Tell
me what you perceive or speculate as unexploited "value." Gates can
get advice from his philanthropy friend Warren Buffet, whom doesn't
play penney airplane stocks, while understanding a helluvalot about
value.

Bill Gates already owns a share of Alaska Airlines, or at least he used to.
I think it was in the range of 5 to 6 percent.

What about MSFT acquiring MOT (motorola) ?

would it incur "anti-trust" objection?

it seems "cheap" and it has mucho assets to keep it from bankruptcy

http://finance.google.com/finance?meta=hl%3Den&q=mot

MOT is way below 10 dollars and i suppose it'll be below 9 dollars
next week, as apparently market/public confidence in the future
lessens

is it analgous to Kodak and Xerox?

Kodak (EK) went into the dumpster several years ago, and has laid off
thousands, though it remains in the teens, falling from 80 something

Xerox too was a contender if not the champ of the 1960s
Kodak ditto in the eighties or seventies
ditto Motorola's fate?

So, neverminddddddd, Mr. Balmer, just pretend you did not consider bad
contrary plays
