Yahoo Would You Stop Posting 6 Year Old Questions Today Is April 5th Because It

How do I view email older than a few months on Yahoo Mail on my old, slow computer without buying a premium account?

I don’t have a premium Yahoo account, and I have mail that is over 13 years old. I didn’t use Yahoo much after I signed up with Gmail, mainly because of their being hacked so many time, so I had over 50,000 unread messages. I wanted to clean it up so I could use it again.I have Thunderbird for my email client, it works in systems as old as Windows XP SP2. I went into my Yahoo account settings and allowed third party software, put my email and password into Thunderbird, and several hours later I had ALL my mail. It took me about an hour to clean it up, and now I have a nice clean mailbox at Yahoo again. My friend sent me some pictures of my son’s baptism 10 years ago that I thought were lost, but no, they were still sitting there nicely on Yahoo’s servers waiting for me to download them.

6 year old boy who zones out?

You could tell your his doctor about this. Usually boys with birthdays that make them one of the youngest in the class have maturity issues in school. I had a similar problem with my son. He was one of the youngest ones in his class. He had trouble paying attention. Three years in a role I had teachers telling me they thought he had ADHD. I kept telling him I didn't think that was true I thought he was just young. Finally I took him to be tested because, the teachers wouldn't quit hounding me. Well turns he didn't have ADHD he was just inmature. There is really nothing that can be done for that they just need time to mature. I tried to get them to allow me to hold him back so he could catch to the other students with maturity. The school wouldn't let me they said his grades were too good. So we just had to suffer with it. He finally out grew this in 8th grade. Boys tend to be less mature than girls anyway. You could have him tested but he is probably inmature. My brother used to do the zone out thing. They told my mother it was because he was very smart and he was bored with what they were doing and he needed more to stimulate him. They put him in classes for smarter children and that seemed to help him. That could be another possibility. Don't worry to much I am sure your baby will be fine I think it is just a part of growing up.

What lessons can Silicon Valley tech executives learn from what went wrong at Yahoo?

There is only one lesson, and that is there is no reinventing an old business, especially one at this scale. There is no such thing as “too big to fail” in the tech sector.Ask Polaroid, Kodak, MySpace, or AOL. Ask Nokia, Blackberry, IBM, or Sun Microsystems. When your business is centered around a core technology or the momentum of a technological wave, your entire business will be left holding the torch when the technology is left behind by the market. Nothing replaces new technology but new technology, and the fact that you’ve been left behind already implies the new wave has arrived together with their booming businesses, and they are not you.A company is not made of a work force that can easily switch tasks. If the business relies on A, B, and C, their resources will adapt, evolve, and deeply root themselves in A, B, and C. They cannot switch from A to X or B to Y efficiently or quickly. And if there is a business displacing yours with X, Y and Z, well, they’ve already established themselves. The kicker? It’s the exact same advantage you had when you displaced others in your heyday. Nothing has changes, except the times.Businesses have no pivots. If anything, they have seeds of new businesses and opportunities they see. Employees will bring these things with them, but these are building businesses from scratch. If they were truly worth it, they’d be new businesses. Think Twitter.Only the public and naive entrepreneurs believe companies can reinvent themselves. Mayer did everything she could to reinvent Yahoo, but if anything she proved there was nothing left to reinvent. They weren’t going to reinvent search, photo hosting, or social media. They did their best to acquire and aqui-hire in those departments, but there was too little available. It was too little too late.Nothing went wrong. That’s the lesson. It all just went. Entrepreneurs are serial for this reason. They don’t reinvent businesses. They sell, and move on to invent their next business. Tech executives are job hoppers also for this reason. Mayer will end up with another job that will likely pay more than the remaining 99% of us. For better or worse, there is nothing wrong with this picture.
