Just curious; will FR switch to a different search engine under the “search” feature or stick with Altaba/Verizon?

What happens to the free yahoo,com email accounts?

No matter, Yahoo under any name is the same stupid Yahoos.

Yahoo Inc. said Monday that it would rename itself Altaba Inc.

Well, let's see. People at least know the Yahoo brand, even if they haven't been there since the early internet days. Altaba, what's that? Never heard of it. The value of Altaba will shrink down to nothing, because everyone will think Yahoo disappeared, and this will be the worst investment Verizon ever made.

Yes this was Melissa Mayer's office, with a bunch of toys and not much else in it. This is how Silicon Valley rolls, hire a bunch of students right out of college, pay them peanuts and work them to death. But give them bouncy balls to sit on at work and let them ride skateboards in the halls. Somehow, Yahoo turned out exactly the way you think it would, looking at the picture.

But at least there is one woman celebrating this takeover, because now Carly Fiorina looks like a good manager by comparison.

"Yahoo Inc. said Monday that it would rename itself Altaba Inc."

Dumb name. No pizzazz. I hope they're not stupid enough to use it on the website. It'll be an instant fail.

I hereby predict “alt tab out” is going to be a failure.

[Ray76]

“Altaba”? The name alone will sink them.

[SoFloFreeper]

man, I hope Altaba fires some of the liberal editors or culls the ranks of the leftist spewers of vitriol.

I hate logging on for my mail sometimes because of the ghastly conservative-hating headlines that pop up.

Foul and disgusting.

Curiosity is increased regarding the new identity altaba. . .which disturbingly sounds like a contraction of al-Tabaa or al-Tabbaa - arabic origin?
