Berikut petikan dari Yahoo press release nya:

Yahoo! believes that this agreement will enable the Company to better monetize Yahoo!’s search inventory in the United States and Canada. At current monetization rates, this is an approximately $800 million annual revenue opportunity. In the first 12 months following implementation, Yahoo! expects the agreement to generate an estimated $250 million to $450 million in incremental operating cash flow. The agreement will enhance Yahoo!’s ability to achieve its goal to grow operating cash flow significantly, while at the same time providing flexibility to continue to invest in ongoing initiatives such as algorithmic search innovation and search and display advertising platforms.

Dan berikut Tanggapan dari Jerry Yang CEO Yahoo dan bukan anggota f4 alias Thoming Tse :

It may seem counterintuitive that doing a deal with a competitor would improve our competitive position. But as search and display continue their convergence, it puts Yahoo! in a better position to innovate and compete aggressively with Google and others for ad dollars. It also offers advertisers more choice and publishers gain better distribution and monetization to grow their business.

Pihak google sendiri bilang see in google blog

– This is not a merger
– This does not remove a competitor from the playing field.
– This does not prevent Yahoo! from making similar arrangements with others.
- This does not increase Google’s share of search traffic.
- This does not let Google raise prices for advertisers.

Wah tambah sangar aja tuh Google. Apakah microsoft jadi beli yahoo. Wahh biarkan waktu yang akan menjawab.

Minggu di undang saudara pindahan di perumahan didaerah sedati Djuanda. Sore melakukan keliling di lingkungan sekitar nya bersama istri dan kedua anakku. Eh kami tertarik dengan daerah jajanan Djuanda yang cukup romantis untuk kalangan kaum muda. Seep dech. Kenapa? Karena pemandangannya sungguh mempesona disaat sore menjelang. Seberang jalan terdapat hamparan padi yang hijau. Setiap lima menit kita bisa melihat pesawat yang mau landing di Djuanda airport.

Menjelang sore banyak pasangan anak muda yang bercengcrama disana sambil menikmati makanan yang disediakan warung kakilima disepanjang jalan tersebut. Jadi kepingin muda lagi. Kemudian kami memesan 2 porsi bakso + es campur ternyata harganya cukup murah, Totalnya Rp 15.000,- atau $2 an murah bukan. So untuk mereka yang ingin berpiknik tidak ada salahnya jika mencoba diaerah ini
