Better Buy: Yahoo! vs. Baidu

The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which Motley Fool senior technology analyst Eric Bleeker and chief technology officer Jeremy Phillips discuss emerging trends in technology.

In today's edition, Jeremy and Eric pit Baidu against Yahoo! to decide which one of these Internet giants is the better buy. While Eric and Jeremy find that Yahoo!'s foreign assets are an extremely attractive reason to buy the company, Baidu has benefits of its own, such as an increasing monopoly-like market share in Chinese search.

Both Yahoo! and Baidu are part of a boom that will lead to Internet traffic quadrupling by 2015. The Motley Fool has compiled a new report called "The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2011," which highlights a company that's set to profit handsomely from the booming amounts of data flowing across the Internet, no matter which company delivers the video.

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

Enter your email address below to find out what made Jobs so enraged!
