I have to absolutely agree... I don't know either why Yahoo didn't...
or for that matter if they didn't make a bid... I would hope that it
would have. I do know however... that there WAS some contention within
the DivX Inc. Board of Directors on Spinning/Selling Stage6 at what
extent. DivX Inc wanted to keep a 20% cut from any further Stage6
revenue... even after Spinning it off... And as we all know... enough
contention on the topic that Board members and staff walked out.
There's unsubstantiated "gossip" and "rumor"... (its funny that even a
rumor or gossip can be unsubstantiated...) "rumor" that Google has at
the last minute convened an emergency Board meeting... to finalize a
possible purchase of Stage6 at $750 million dollars.
LOL.
It is funny though... that some of these Search-Engine Giants moving
into video streaming... haven't either made a bid... or announced an
intent of some kind...
