One of the unfortunate aspects of the so-called digital revolution is that older, analog technologies get left behind. With digital cameras, Polaroid photos are being replaced.

One of the unfortunate aspects of the so-called digital revolution is that older, analog technologies get left behind. With digital cameras, Polaroid photos are being replaced. Digitals are more instant, and usually look superior, though there’s something about the primary colors and blurry edges of a Polaroid that’ll always rule.
Those days are soon to pass. Polaroid is closing its last film plant in Concord, Mass. It will continue to work in the digital field, but there will be no more shaking of those 3×3 pieces of chemically-enhanced plastic. So sad.

Yahoo! has said “no” to Microsoft. For now, at least.
The Yahoo! board is expected to formally reject Microsoft’s offer, with the thinking that the company is worth more than what Microsoft offered—$44.6 billion, or about $31 per share. The board feels the company is worth closer to $40 per share, or around $57.5 billion. That’s a $12 billion difference. Chump change.
Apparently Yahoo! is concerned about the company’s independence. Some on the board feel that Google would be a superior company to partner up with than Microsoft. There’s fears that Microsoft will bid and bid until it gets its way—with our without the current board.
Nothing like high finance on the weekend.
