Microsoft Reportedly Recruiting Engineers Away from Yahoo
Microsoft has started a recruitment-drive aimed at Yahoo's engineers after futile attempts to acquire the company.
According to the San Jose Mercury News, Microsoft sent a detailed email to marketing staff and select engineers. The email reportedly said. "I know a lot of people from Yahoo have been reaching out to us lately because they are nervous about the pending layoffs. I wanted to give you an opportunity to explore Microsoft careers as well."
Microsoft has several offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, where it is now showing a renewed interest in adding office space and employees. Microsoft already has offices in San Francisco and Mountain View, about one million square feet of office space, and 2,000 employees.

they just won't accept "no stfu" as an answer..
Seems like the yahoo exec's moronic mistakes won't trickly down to the employees, nice that microsoft is willing to take the employees anyways. I just hope the lower end peopel will have similar oppurtunities.

my message to microsoft: leave yahoo alone, leave us alone with your spyware-full-bloatware, give linux and osx dx10.1 and go fuck yourself.
And this is legitimate, like Candle said, Microsoft are just making Yahoo implode onto themselves.
Thats what bussiness is all about yahoo are seemingly gonna pay a big price for rejecting ms's offers.
I don't get why you tell M$ to fuck themselves, and use Linux/OSX but you've got Windows XP?:wtf:
It's only business, and I don't see a problem with it. :toast:
