? ? ? Investor's alley ¬ Web 'problem child' in play Kevin Barker Founding editor Last fall I called Yahoo Inc (YHOO.NASDAQ) a screaming buy at under $15 per share. Now, I considered it highly speculative, even though it appears everyone's favorite problem child is finally in play after founder Jerry Yang's departure last week. Last September, analysts were describing Yahoo as 'beleagured'... 'a mediocre hybrid', and my personal favorite, a ... 'rudderless Internet hodgepodge'. Now they're hailing Yang's departure as the precursor to a sell-off of Yahoo's Asian assets and some kind of rebirth into something presumably more focused. That may be, but I for one think a U.S. based web portal without Asian assets has a lot less growth potential, if any at all; even if it does have a lot of cash from the sale. Focus is something the world's oldest web portal always seemed to lack, and that problem certainly hasn't gone away. Thematically, Yahoo was and is a new media company with ads and not much more. Has it struggled, unsuccesfully, to create a vision of what web surfers should see beyond the browser? Perhaps. Yahoo the company is still little more than the sum of its parts, and I suppose that is why I for one have always used it only for specific things. It has never given me a cohesive, front-to-back customer experience.. (More..) HP Loses CEO

Dental practices The lowdown on dental tourism in Latin America. During my frequent forays to the homeland, I'm sometimes shocked by the apparent deterioration in the dental hygiene of my various friends. I'm not sure if this stems from fewer dental plans being offered by employers, or rising dental costs, or just higher unemployment. I only know it seems to be worsening with each passing year.
