Isn't this ironic that it's on yahoo.com?

It is not ironic. Yahoo survived 2010.

They're not exactly doing great either, so some sort of hint of irony is definately present...

Yes it is ironic. Might be ironic indefinitely. Their problem is not about competence, revenue, or profits. They have all three. It's about investor expectations, plus a dose of envy and greed.

A company with revenues of $6bn/year and profit margin 20% is hardly ironic.

oh god please learn to format properly. I wanted to skim the article, identify the companies they "profiled" and then read about the ones I'm interested in, but I can't because they haven't used any sort of heading style... :( Even bolding the titles would be enough.

The source article is formatted much better: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/06/business/smallbusiness/06s...

My 1993 Saturn SC2 is my favorite of the cars I've owned. (Granted I'm not much of a car person.) I was a bit sad at their passing, though I gather they were no longer the company they were founded as when they finally hung it up.
