Apparently they were left in Bait Bay, which wouldn't have been be very reassuring...

Terrible news about Burma.  The Burmese are some of the greatest, friendliest and selfless people I've ever met.  Now they not only have to deal with living in an impoverished country under the greedy mismanagement of the Junta, they now have to deal with the widespread grief and loss caused by one of the worst SE Asia catastrophes of the last 100 years.

Google are doing a GREAT job in supporting this too (US dollar donations but requires Google account) - Google Burma Page

Thank gawd MS is walking away.  Be interesting to see what happens once the dust settles.  Y! shares will crash out once Wall St opens of course, and there should be a nice bounce in MS.  Reading the text it looks like Yang was threatening to do a deal with Google before MS could complete an acquisition.  They are mad if they do that.  Sure their business is fucked but partnering with their biggest threat (Google) is not going to save it in the long term.
