    Yahoo's failure even funnier in French

    I just got a copy of an article in Capital, France's biggest business magazine, which neatly summarizes the history of Yahoo's troubles. The best part? Seeing the "Peanut Butter memo" — executive Brad Garlinghouse's cri de coeur about Yahoo's all-over-the-map strategy — translated into French:

    Notre stratégie est comme une tartine de
    beurre de cacahuète.

    Put that way, it almost sounds poetic.
