Yahoo-Tumblr deal: Internet giant promises not to 'screw it up' over $1.1bn deal	20.5.2013	The Guardian -- Front Page
Web pioneer reveals details of acquisition of blogging platform, as site's 26-year-old founder tells staff: 'Fuck yeah' Yahoo promised "not to screw it up" as it formally announced its acquisition of the Tumblr blogging platform for $1.1bn ahead of the US stock market opening on Monday. The relaxed wording of the memo for one of the internet giant's biggest acquisitions was echoed in the memo sent by David Karp, Tumblr's 26-year-old founder, to his staff, in which he said "We're not turning purple" – Yahoo's corporate colour – and rounded it off "Fuck yeah." The deal, which is expected to complete in the second half of the year, is almost all cash, is equal in value to Yahoo's money in hand at the end of its first quarter in March – but it has substantial extra assets in short-term securities, shares in the Chinese site Alibaba, and other equities which it can liquidate. It is understood that Karp, who will remain Tumblr's chief executive, will be tied into the company for at ...

Yahoo's $1.1bn Tumblr takeover is a bold roll of the dice	20.5.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
CEO Marissa Meyer risks blowing the blogging platform's cool – but the deal could rejuvenate the tech giant's ad business Despite the breadth and diversity of life online, there are relatively few opportunities to make the kind of acquisitions that make the industry stop and take stock. Yahoo's $1.1bn deal to buy Tumblr is one of those moments: a bold acquisition that says chief executive Marissa Meyer means business. Comparisons to Yahoo's 1999 $3.6bn acquisition of Geocities are too simplistic. In internet years, 1999 is more like two centuries ago and Yahoo is in a completely different place, led by a woman with all the zeal of a convert. Repeatedly passed over for promotion during her previous (another internet lifetime) 13 years at Google, she has an opportunity to do something impressive with Yahoo, which seemed in terminal decline. One venture capital executive told me that during the tenure of Carol Bartz, Mayer's predecessor once removed, the investors were expecting Yahoo to ...

The man who 'nearly broke the internet'	20.5.2013	The Guardian -- Front Page
Sven Olaf Kamphuis is accused of global cybercrime, but Spanish police found him in a squalid flat with his name on the letterbox The day Sven Olaf Kamphuis parked his huge orange Mercedes van with its German numberplates outside Bar Javis, in the Catalan town of Granollers, the owner's son snapped a picture with his mobile phone. "Not a lot happens in this street," Maria Cruz, the bar's owner, explained. "And it was so huge, with all those funny antennas and solar panels poking out of the roof, that it blocked the light to the bar." Even stranger was the 35-year-old Dutch man who parked it in this narrow street after renting a small attic flat with windows made of glass blocks in the poorer end of this nondescript town 15 miles from Barcelona. Even on hot early summer days, Kamphuis wore a woollen hat. And he spoke no Spanish, answering "yes, yes" in English to everything people from this friendly neighbourhood said to him. Kamphuis, 35, is one of the most controversial characters ...

Pornography risks should be taught to children as young as five, say parents	20.5.2013	The Guardian -- Front Page
Eight in 10 parents polled by headteachers say issues around pornography should form part of sex education lessons Many parents believe schools should teach children about the dangers of pornography as soon as they are old enough to use the internet, a survey suggests. It reveals that the majority of parents do not want it to be left to them alone to educate their youngsters about the issue, and a large proportion think pupils as young as five or six should be given lessons on the subject. Russell Hobby, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), which conducted the poll, said many young people were exposed to explicit materials online and on mobile phones, and needed to know how to cope. The survey, which questioned about 1,000 parents, found that six in 10 are worried, or very worried, about their children seeing violent or sexual material on the web. But the poll also reveals that the majority (80%) of are confident in protecting their children online. ...
