A reformed Gates school plan will benefit community colleges - Nov. 26, 2008

(Fortune Magazine) -- When Bill Gates gets worked up about something, his body language changes. He suspends his habit of rocking forward and back in his chair and sits a little straighter. His voice rises in pitch. Today the subject is America's schools. It's "a paradox," he says in an exclusive interview with Fortune, that "America has been so successful with such terrible education."

Doubts on Yang's one-year mark as Yahoo CEO - Jun. 17, 2008

SAN FRANCISCO (Fortune) -- Jerry Yang will celebrate his one-year anniversary as Yahoo's CEO on Wednesday. And while Yahoo's top executive has preserved the independence of the battered Internet pioneer he founded, don't expect many folks to congratulate Yang on a job well done. These days, Yang is hardly seen as the savior that everyone had hoped for a year ago. Under Yang's watch, Yahoo (YHOO, F

The end of the Internet sales tax dodge - May. 30, 2008

NEW YORK (Fortune) -- One of the great things about shopping on sites like Amazon has been not having to pay a dime in taxes (or shipping, if you've spent enough). Since the dawn of Web commerce, the rule was that as long as a retailer didn't have a physical presence in the shopper's state, the company didn't collect a sales tax. Well, it was fun while it lasted. Starting June 1, Amazon (AMZN, For

'The biggest threat is internal' - May. 13, 2008

SAN FRANCISCO (Fortune) -- As Google's CEO, one of Eric Schmidt's duties is to represent the company in public. Co-presidents and co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin limit their appearances, presumably because they value their privacy, but also because they seem to prefer it that way. Less time glad-handing means more time thinking big thoughts, working with their fellow Google engineers and, f

Microsoft won't buy Facebook anytime soon - May. 9, 2008
