				beto1179yTotally agree with the spirit of the post but for the record, we can't compare the $40 bi in 2008 with the $4.7 bi now. Apples and oranges. Microsoft wanted all of Yahoo (with the profitable parts as well) where Verizon only bought the "bad" parts. Alibaba is by itself valued at over $60 bi now but isn't part of what Verizon bought.
