...longtime rival Yahoo, or they're trying to scare away one-day profiteers. "Either way," says Mark Mahaney, analyst for American Technology Research, "this is a real case of buyer beware."

Such a lack of support sends dangerous warning signals in terms of one’s expected job security...
...been cancer-free since. He moved on to a high-powered Wall Street career at Citicorp, where he worked on the $105 million leveraged buyout of the Piggly Wiggly supermarket chain and the $200 million acquisition of Prince Sports Group from Unilever. Seven years after his health scare, Hughes got the entrepreneurial itch. He decided to go out on his own--and help people in the process...
