VentureBeat's Matt Marshall @ Startup Camp San Francisco
2008-05-08 23:24:00 Matt Marshall was formerly a reporter for the San Jose Mercury News and who started the company VentureBeat.com in 2006. We first met when I attended his party at the Amsterdam in San Francisco, and then ran into each other at Startup Camp San Francisco, where he took time to talk with me while we were in the chow line there.As for Startup Camp itself, it was great for networking, but I didn't get out of it what I was looking for, which was focused, specific discussion of problems and issues that all startups face. For the most part, the discussion groups had general conversations and were too large in some cases to be effective on a personal level.

Yahoo shares dive after Microsoft yanks US$47.5b bid - SAN FRANCISCO
2008-05-06 09:02:00 Yahoo shares dive after Microsoft yanks US$47.5b bid - SAN FRANCISCO Google-Yahoo talks begin, but any alliance could face antitrust hurdles (SAN FRANCISCO) Yahoo shares fell 17 per cent in early trading yesterday as hopes for the once-dominant search engine dimmed following Microsoft’s withdrawal of a US$47.5 billion takeover bid.  Mr Yang: He may only have a few months to show that his rebuff of Microsoft was a smart move Analysts believe Yahoo’s stock price will surrender most, perhaps all, of its 50 per cent gain since Microsoft made its initial offer on Jan 31 in an effort to challenge online advertising and search leader Google. The anticipated sell-off would leave Yahoo’s market value hovering around US$30 billion. Last-ditch talks between Yahoo and Microsoft were fruitless, leading Microsoft to walk away from a deal on Saturday. In early trading yesterday, Yahoo shares fell 17.2 per cent to US$23.73, below Friday’s close of US$28.67, when investor...
Yahoo CEO in hot seat for rebuffing Microsoft bid - SAN FRANCISCO
2008-05-06 08:56:00 Yahoo CEO in hot seat for rebuffing Microsoft bid - SAN FRANCISCO TOUGH ACT: Mr Yang will have to execute a turnaround plan to win over investors. — PHOTO: AFP  SAN FRANCISCO - YAHOO chief executive officer (CEO) Jerry Yang may have only a few months to convince Wall Street that his rebuff of Microsoft’s US$47.5 billion (S$65.2 billion) takeover bid was a smart move. If he cannot, analysts will not be surprised if he is either replaced as CEO or forced to consider accepting a lower offer if Microsoft comes knocking at his door again. The backlash, as expected, began yesterday, when analysts believed Yahoo’s stock price would surrender most, if not all, of its 50 per cent gain since Microsoft made its initial offer on Jan 31. The shares tumbled as much as 20 per cent to US$22.97 in early trading, from last week’s close of US$28.67. Meanwhile, disillusioned shareholders are bound to question whether the rejection of Microsoft’s sweetened offer was dri...

193 unit San Francisco complex sold at $730/sqft.
2008-05-06 01:43:00 SocketSite, San Francisco's property evaluation blog, reports on the $115 million record sale price for a new 193-unit luxury apartment complex in the new Mission Bay, valuing the units at $730/sq.ft. More interesting is the comment stream of readers trying to justify why the purchase was made - examples: What many of you seem to overlook is that UDR is a publicly-traded, investment grade REIT. Check their public filings - they recently borrowed $200MM at LIBOR+85. That's 3.6%. If that's the cost of capital on this project, it may well pencil out of the box.(According to this GlobeSt article, the cap rate is in the mid-4% range)If the developer can only sell those units individually for $600/sqft, why would they offer $730/sqft? They understand that rents are going to rise around here for the foreseeable future. Note that the sellers had planned for a 9-month lease-up but they were able to get all 193 units into contract in just 4 months. The purchase is puzzling conside...

Microsoft withdraws proposal to buy Yahoo - SAN FRANCISCO
2008-05-05 08:22:00 Microsoft withdraws proposal to buy Yahoo - SAN FRANCISCO Internet firm may announce deal with Google this week (SAN FRANCISCO) Microsoft Corp walked away from its bid to buy Yahoo Inc on Saturday after the Internet company turned down its offer to raise the price by US$5 billion to US$47.5 billion.  Mr Ballmer: Cites Yahoo’s Google plans as one reason Microsoft was not mounting a hostile offer Microsoft’s offer was for US$33 a share but Yahoo would not lower its demand below US$37, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said. The software company initially bid US$31 per share for Yahoo more than three months ago. ‘We believe the economics demanded by Yahoo do not make sense for us, and it is in the best interests of Microsoft stockholders, employees and other stakeholders to withdraw our proposal,’ Mr Ballmer said in a statement. Analysts say Yahoo has overplayed its hand and they expect the Web pioneer’s shares to fall as much as 30 per cent to U...

The Sword Slashes San Francisco at Slims
2008-04-28 20:58:00 An raucous crowd of 400-plus left Slim’s nightclub in San Francisco last Saturday with more than just ringing ears. Many, including this closet banger, felt they may have just witnessed a torchbearer in hard rock’s resurgent march. The Sword was sharp and delivered a classic axe-grinding performance that had me wanting more. The Austin, TX based foursome opened with a couple enjoyable screamers from their newly released album, Gods of the Earth. The band played fast and crisp all night and had many in the packed venue howling by their third song by unleashing their classic ‘Winters Wolves’ (from the Age of Winters album). The mosh pit reached a fevered pitch and spilled out into the far corners of the venue during pounding takes of ‘To Take the Black’ and ‘The Black River’. The crowd got primed for The Sword with impressive showings by opening bands Children and the Bay Area’s own Slough Feg. For $14, the show was a steal. Something tells me if The Sword cont...
