"In 1998, Yahoo turned down the opportunity to acquire Google for $1 million."

Sure, but Google is not inflating due to a cosmological constant. If Yahoo had acquired Google, Google would now be worthless, not a trillion-dollar company.

Exactly.

Don't forget that Yahoo bought three search engines.

(Full disclosure: I worked for one of the companies they acquired).

From falsehood, anything follows. (I'm implying here that you don't have unstoppable force and you don't have immovable object)

I like how MSN manages to pack so much content onto a single page—it’s surprisingly intuitive. I’m not sure why that kind of formatting isn’t more common.

A deflection.
