Act your age

Spent this afternoon reading the waning of once Internet giant, Yahoo, from $128B market cap down to nothing today (if its Alibaba shares are divested). Every old legacy giants dream to restore their glorious past and reinvent themselves to become another example akin to the renaissance of Apple. Apple had the epochal disruptive innovation, ipod, in 2001 which brought forth the coveted resurgence of its glorious legacy. However, Yahoo has no mind-blowing innovations in the last five years.   http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/21/magazine/what-happened-when-marissa-mayer-tried-to-be-steve-jobs.html?_r=0
