Microsoft & Yahoo: High School Tech Industry, Part Two

Going back to our high school analogy, re the latest twist on Microsoft and Yahoo... Microsoft decided he didn't want to go out with Yahoo, but then saw Yahoo talking in the hall with Google. Microsoft, used to being BMOC, doesn't want Yahoo hooking with that hot new kid Google because, well, that would be embarrassing. So Microsoft decides to muck up the situation by making weaselly promises to Yahoo: "Well, maybe we should get together -- but, you know, maybe not exclusively. How about we just be 'friends with benefits.' Huh? Like that idea? I sure do."

Meanwhile, back at Yahoo's house, Yahoo's mother lets Yahoo know that she's incensed that Yahoo would blow a chance to be with Microsoft: "Microsoft's got a lot of money. You can learn to love him. Now go back there and let him know you want it."

There. Situation explained. Because the tech industry is like high school.
