    Yahoo! Sues Facebook

    Im sure that you have all heard, but Yahoo! is suing Facebook over patent disputes. What do you guys think about this? Is it a coincidence that Yahoo! is suing so close to Facebook's IPO?

    No, it's more that Yahoo has changed their business model from internet contributor to patent troll. It's the only way they have left to make money. And it will end them as a company.

    I think it is very common rather than a coincidence over Facebook's IPO. Huge corporates routinely sue each other. Not really news.

    Yep I used to work for Yahoo and I can say that it's definitely not news!
