Yahoo finally getting their act together
Earlier this week we heard the news of Jerry Yang resigning as CEO of Yahoo, the result of a painfully disappointing year for the company that saw failure after failure. They have watched their grip on Internet search slip through their fingers and they are in danger of slipping into the worlds of anonymity and the pages of history. However, things are looking good for Yahoo fans with two positive pieces of news.
One Search
They are both an attempt to fight back at Google’s search domination, both in the mobile phone and PC sectors. The first is a deal sealed with T-Mobile with the “One Search” button. Yahoo have been poor at closing deals recently; however, this catch is definitely one that should help them in the future.

Aspire one to overtake Eee
Asus set a target of 5 million units of its Eee PC netbook to be sold this year, which they appear to be reaching. The only problem is that shipments of the Acer Aspire One are creeping towards its ambitious target of 6 million sales, 20% more than the Eee PC.

However the numbers do not lie, Asus only shipped 1.7 million in the third quarter while Acer managed 2.4 million, and advantage they intend to continue into the fourth quarter with predicted sales to exceed this quarter.
