Comment Re:Reasons I unfriend people (Score 1) 300

If I ever do something like that (I don't really friend much anymore unless I've hung out with someone a few times recently, although I'm thinking I might do at least one more eventually), my reason for friending is usually some sort of feeling of a lost chance, and the reason I don't say anything is fear of rejection (although if you send a message, I will probably respond, probably in at most a week) Usually when I friend someone, I have the hope that maybe we might catch up sometime or it might turn into an opportunity, but I know that it usually doesn't go anywhere. I can get afraid to actually send messages to people who I haven't talked to in a while (or much at all, often times). Thinking about it, it's a little irrational. It doesn't matter too much anymore, though, maybe, because I'm in a little better of a social situation than I was a few years ago.

Telco Appeals Minnesota City's Fiber-Optic Win 162

tsa writes "In a predictable move, TDS Telecom has filed an appeal after its complaint against Monticello, Minnesota's new fiber network was tossed by a county judge in early October. As you may remember, the city decided to build its own fiber-optic network after the telco made it clear they wouldn't build it because it wouldn't be economically feasible for them. TDS Telecom then changed its mind and sued the city for unfair competition."

Yahoo Interested In a Microsoft Buyout, But Microsoft Isn't 174

Linux Blog writes "The Google-Yahoo advertising deal has been rejected by the Department of Justice, and Google has pulled the plug on a search-ad partnership with Yahoo that would have given Yahoo major new revenue, but that raised antitrust concerns. Now, Yahoo has said the 'For Sale' sign is still on its front lawn and that Microsoft should buy the company. The internet portal's co-founder and CEO Jerry Yang made this comment despite the fact Yahoo rejected a $33 a share offer from Microsoft back in May. What a huge loss for the share holders. Microsoft was quick to respond that their buyout efforts were a thing of the past, but left the door open to a search partnership."
