For the 3 months ending 2011-12-31 (last quarter available), Yahoo!'s revenue was US$1.3B, with a net income of nearly US$300M - for the _quarter_. I wish I were in such "questionable/bad financial shape". Before anyone pounces, yes, I know they're not growing. The results above up slightly from Q3 2011, although down slightly (~5%) from Q4 2010. But they still make more revenue & profit than 99.mumble% of the companies represented on this list. And they have more than enough to do abuse correctly. Perhaps more importantly, I seriously doubt Yahoo! mail is going away any time soon. -- TTFN, patrick
