- BassMastr, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1He'll probably blackmail/extort an obscene amount of money from the at the expense of their employees and share holders. He'll threaten to do something bad to the company unless they pay him to go away. Then he'll try and find someway to continue to make money off them at their expense all the while never actually adding any value what so ever...kinda like a parasite.
- MikeonTV, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3Lots of Yahoo! news these days... Hmmm I wonder....
- MavRevMatt, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3Fairly interesting article actually, if he does anything with Yahoo hopefully it'll succeed and not harm Yahoo... I don't personally use them but it's good to have someone to compete against Google.

- Hiji, on 05/16/2008, -2/+1You seem like a bitter little bitch.
- superjunaid, on 05/16/2008, -1/+1I love this new commenting system! and yes this will be interesting to see!
- foxhaze, on 05/16/2008, -1/+1I love how I accidentally dugg your comment, and the new commenting system allowed me to correct my mistake, and bury your stupid ass. Thanks, Kevin Rose.
- SmooveO, on 05/16/2008, -0/+4Wow. Ruthless. Unbelievable how he was able to get away with that at TWA.
- BassMastr, on 05/16/2008, -0/+5Seems like everything he touches turns to crap... But as long as he makes out okay I guess that makes him smart? Smart to me is taking over a company and making it successful and creating benefits for yourself as well as your employees. (the people who actually do the work.) Have no idea how he is considered a modern day "robin hood" seems to me like the only people he really hurts are the employees of these huge companies. Show me a deal where he isn't the only one who benefited...
- AgentOmega, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2I have to agree with BassMastr on this. It seems looking at this mans record that despite an obviously overly vast fortune the man is still interested in making more money for himself (which at this rate I seriously doubt he could ever even spend) at the expense of consumers and company employee's alike. His tactics may be legal but they are immoral and a perfect example of rampant self interest being lofted as example simply because of success. Climbing a hill of bodies to reach the top first still leaves you a murderer.

- JuiceofChampion, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Never knew all these things about Ichan, sounds like he really knows how to make some money.
- robert17, on 05/17/2008, -0/+0I had no idea.
- CassandraCruise, on 05/18/2008, -0/+1dugg it!
