Apple and Yahoo In Talks Over Deeper iPhone Partnership

Well Yahoo stock is up 58% over the past year so someone thinks the company is moving in the right direction.
It is pretty sad that Apple has to go to a third-tier company for help. It's too bad that The Steve unleashed such a tirade against Google, and entered into such a fruitless vendetta against them.
I thought that Tim might be more rational. Maybe he is, but it is just simply too late. At this point, Google wouldn't give Apple ice in the wintertime.

Yeah, it's apparently called Firefox OS.
Other than that: It's Marissa Mayer, Tim Cook and Deeper Integration. You should be able to make your own joke.

That's the one main thing I think Yahoo has done well. Their mobile mail interface beats every other that I've used, including Apple's own. The controls are much cleaner and more intuitively placed.
I wouldn't mind more Flickr integration. I like the interface of Flickr, but not the business model. Yahoo's charges are a bit steep for what you get, IMO.
Many, many iOS users are too technolgically naive to know that there are multiple choices of search providers. If they wanted to learn all that "complicated stuff" they would not have gotten an iPhone.

Way too complicated.
I agree completely.
Unable to control himself, Jobs mouth & public display of hatred, did a lot of damage between the venom spewing at Google, and the various Legal Assaults launched such as the huge Samsung dust up.
It's really a shame, since Apple stock was still climbing, Apple was on a very positive path and not wasting time investing in negative energy and focus.
While it may or may not be related, Apple seems a little scattered or uncertain, or reactive to market forces now.
Weekly the "buzz" shifts to another product or project. "Apple's going to do this" or Apple's going to do that" is not playing as well as they would like it to.
This has Apple Maps deja vu all over it. Problem for Apple is there just aren't many options out there. But I don't know anyone... and that includes my 70 y.o. mom who uses any of the awful Yahoo-powered Apple Apps. It's a shame they have to take up space on the phone. I'd love to hit the delete key on them.
But important Yemail continues to go directly to Spam and Trash folders, even when the sender is in my Contacts.
And when ABC partnered with Yahoo, all sorts of problems arose with reading news articles. Further, accessing an ABC news article results in a #@#$%^& Netflix pop-up ad. GIVE ME A BREAK!
iOS isn't a turf war. Google is falling all over themselves trying to put their applications on iOS. Heck, their apps on iOS are often better than their equivalents on Android. Microsoft is putting all of their stuff on iOS as well. Everyone wants to be on the iPhone. However, if you are a WP phone user or Android user you run the risk of being caught in the crosshairs of their turf battles. So there's no Youtube app and very few or limited Google Services on WP and don't ever expect MS Office or the quality of Microsoft's apps for iOS on your Android device.
With iOS, you get the choice and freedom of whatever you want to use from any company pretty much. And more importantly, they put out their best efforts on iOS.
Google is a different kind of poison too though. So what's left? Out of the 3 only Bing.
I already have. I don't google anymore in my personal life. Switched everything to Bing with no ill effects on search results.
I dare to say 95% of ios users dont even know they can change that.

but Apple doesn't LIKE Google right now... Google is running around stepping on toes. Mayer could pull a nice recovery by sticking to being just a portal and place to park your online stuff. Yahoo just has to make a point not to step on other people's toes... then they become the "neutral" cross-platform solution.
I like Yahoo over the "dominate all the things" of Facebook or Google right now. if Yahoo could polish up Flicker, Groups, and the other community-building properties they have they could quietly build some nice stuff and make nice money. they just have to stay in the shadows... don't draw attention.
grown ups want "quiet". we don't want always on like facebook, we don't want all our engadget posts collected to our + circles... there's a huge backlash out there of people that just don't want to be THAT connected... yahoo could make lots of bucks.
If you actually believed any of what you just said here, you wouldn't own any Apple products. You'd stick with Blackberry since they're the quiet ones not out to "dominate all the things"
Like post #7. And I'll add their security appears to be stupid, overzealous on the wrong things. And just getting to Mail means you have to know the right path to find the damn page. Why isn't it the home page or at least a portion of it? Christ, what else would people be logging in for at first?
nope
