Putting Microsoft’s Bid For Yahoo In Perspective

by James R. Stoup May 09, 2008

After hearing that Microsoft was walking away from its offer to buy Yahoo, I got to thinking what else they could buy with that kind of mony. Here are some ideas.

For $45 Billion Microsoft could buy. . .

327 F-22 Raptors (instantly have the world's 9th largest Air Force)
Everyone in California, Texas, New York, Florida and Illinois an iPhone
Every other web-related company created in the past 5 years
Wyoming
8 Aircraft carriers (the US only has 11)
Pay for the Iraq war for one football season (playoffs not included)
Hire every hooker in Las Vegas, at $200 per hour, to service every single person living in California . . . twice

Hi.Cool article.There is a problem with the website in firefox, and you might want to test this… The browser is the market leader and a large section of other folks will leave out your great writing because of this problem.Thank’s <a href = “http://www.onarsitek.com”>Jasa Arsitektur</a>

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Thanks

$45 Billion is a lot of money and absolutely can do a lot of things to make more people happy than buying Yahoo.
