Amateur Economic Hour

At 12:49 on CNNMoney, regarding AOL selling it's patent portfolio to Microsoft:

Yahoo (YHOO, Fortune 500) or Facebook would have been other likely buyers, but both are in unique situations that probably curbed their abilities to pay what Microsoft did for AOL's patent portfolio.
Yahoo is in the middle of a complete overhaul, while Facebook is in the process of offering its stock to the public. It's probably not looking to deplete its $3.9 billion cash stash on major acquisitions right now.



Breaking news on CNN.com at 1:30:

Facebook agrees to buy photo network Instagram for $1 billion in cash and stock.


Journalists are such douche bags.

Also - 3 months ago on 60 Minutes: Chocolate is good for you, eat more chocolate.

Two weeks ago: Sugar is toxic, don't eat sugar.

Douche Bags.

Eat the 70%+ cacao chocolate, not much sugar, there.

My favorite is when they describe how the local gas station clerk was robbed with a fully automatic, 50 cal assault rifle machine gun. Just like this one...
