- Yahoo's sale of Alibaba.com stake opportunistic
- There's a fair amount of hubbub about Yahoo's decision to sell its stake in Alibaba.com, but it's really just an opportunistic trade. Reuters notes that Yahoo is selling its entire 1.14 stake in Alibaba.com, China's B2B e-commerce giant, to net about $150 million. The move makes sense...

I don't see how that's good.Second, you seem to imply in this article that $0.99 apps are Apple's fault. They...

- Best Buy will not honor $9.99 HDTV deal
