Yahoo is going nuts, and I suspect broke.

M&A
, used in the article, means Mergers & Acquisitions, a Silly Valley term.)
So does this mean there is forward progress in the internet TV/Media world?
I sorta think not. I think Amazon/NetFlix have nailed it, and YouTube too
with their new shows. The main issue is somehow having the tech companies
work well with the media companies. Not easy. Oh, and also Xfinity, alias
Comcast .. it seems that they are looking at being a Cloud DVR .. time
shifting many of their shows.
iTunes has been a surprise at home. We wanted to subscribe to last year's
Longmire series. Amazon was $26 for year one, and iTunes, amazingly
enough, $20. Odd.
Lots more to come in the media/tech integration Complex Adaptive System, I
think!
