This is not a good title for the story; it's not focusing on the right things. Yahoo expected a decrease in income, as they were buying a bunch of companies and expanding spending. Really this was the gist of it:
>Yahoo made a profit of 15 cents a share, falling short of the 18 cents a share that Wall Street had expected on that basis.
So yes, it fell short, but the focus on the "90% income decrease!!!" is misleading.
