Digital Trends - Although many earnings announcements may have been lost in the wake of Appleâs $46.3 billion quarter, struggling Internet giant Yahoo also posted its earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2011âand they werenât nearly so rosey. The good news is that Yahoo managed to earn some $312 million during the quarter; the bad news is that figure is a five percent decrease from the same period in 2010. Although income from operations increased a bit year over year, Yahoo attributed the overall decline in revenue from decreasing revenues garnered from its search agreement with Microsoft. Measured by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Yahooâs revenue for the quarter was $1.32 billion, and its revenue for the year some $4.98 billionâand that full-year figure represents a 21 percent decline compared to 2010.

Digital Trends - One day, years from now, we will be cleaning out our garage/attic/underwater pods (it could happenâ¦), and discover an old game on a disc. We may then call the kids down to gaze in wonder at the relic in our hands, before throwing it in the trash and laughing about how quaint we used to be.
