I've said many times on HN that Yahoo needs to start getting REALLY aggressive in the valley to stay alive; they need to be investing in every startup that comes along and acquiring many more.
All the brain trust is being gobbled up by google and (even moreso, recently) facebook.
I personally think that Acquihires are a bad thing (TM) for the state of our industry... but if Yahoo has any hope in hell, they need to inject some innovative blood into themselves in a damn hurry.
What's the logic behind aggressive investing/acquiring, other than talent?
