He's got a business lawyer's mind and, as you know I'm sure, he's spent the last few years immersed in web applications. Bottom-line: Yahoo's three choices are: 1. Tough it out alone. 2....http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/02/06/shouldYahooAcceptMicrosoft.html The Wall Street Journal's Digital Network goes Mobile- February 6, 2008 The Wall Street Journal Digital Network announced today a free, downloadable application for Windows Mobile phones that provides users access to WSJ.com, MarketWatch.com and Barrons.com.
