Twelve years ago, Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO ) was the face of dot-com success, a
company that represented the profitability and potential of Internet-powered
brands. Six years ago, Research In Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM ) was the face of the
smartphone business, a company whose handheld devices and software were booming
as enterprises and shaping the market for consumers who wanted to carry the Web

giants and their new chief executives. Will they make InvestorPlaces Dow

challenging road ahead. Research In Motions
