The more headlines I read about the spat with Yahoo on one side and Microsoft and Carl Icahn on the other, the more the parent in me wants to call a time out and send everyone to their respective corners. At the beginning of the month, I titled a post, Yahoo to Microsoft: Oh Yeah? Well, So Can We!. ...
For years, high tech has largely been the home of the mass market mindset. Given the marginal cost of new product units, it's little wonder.

Vonage and Comcast said Wednesday that they will collaborate to "address the reasonable network management of Internet services." That's a fancy way to say that Comcast won't bump Vonage from its network even though they compete. Under the pact, which is a bit sketchy, Comcast committe...

Microsoft is trying to crank up the hosted software front because it has to.
