It is staggering Yahoo has limped on for this long. It is, as this story says, utterly worthless. http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/2/10898316/yahoo-earnings-fourth-quarter-2015-q4-layoffs …
@Lewesbusker Yahoo's search engine is Bing. It doesn't have its own search. Apple would have to buy Microsoft to make that work!

@bazzacollins I know. But Yahoo! brand is still strong enough, certainly with 30+, to be used as front for any back end search engine. -
@Lewesbusker Hmmm... If Apple wanted to get into search business (it doesn't) it would use its own brand. -
@bazzacollins If Apple wanted to kill Google (it probably does) then using the Yahoo! brand/heritage as front could make sense ;-) -
@Lewesbusker Don't buy it. Yahoo's a tarnished brand. Apple wouldn't want it. They're trying to kill Google by killing web ads. -
@bazzacollins@Lewesbusker Just curious, does anyone still use Yahoo?
I thought it'd been filed in the bin along with AOL. -
@MartinPPorter@bazzacollins Yahoo! user numbers not as dire as you might think http://expandedramblings.com/index.php/yahoo-statistics/ … But they are currently directionless -
@Lewesbusker@MartinPPorter They're not insignificant numbers, but they're largely inertia. V few Yahoo services growing.
