Gmail is hardly a failure. Or Maps, or Streetview or Earth. Or Adsense/Adwords. Or Analytics. Youtube seems to be surviving their takeover. Android is the dominant Smartphone. Chrome is the dominant browser. I think they're doing fairly okay.

But it takes a Steve Jobs type visionary to understand what people will want next and how bad they'll want it BEFORE they even know they want it.

Nice mythologizing but in the real world, outside the realms of tablets and music, most people
don't want Apple products.

Yahoo's single largest problem from a business standpoint is simple. They have no identity. They stand for nothing. They do nothing well. They are known for nothing. Customers have no idea what "Yahoo!" is. Yahoo has no idea what Yahoo is. No one can easily finish this sentence "Yahoo is the best...."

This is true. TBH it's only when threads like this appear I even remember Yahoo still exists.
