I’m sure you’re one of many generations to ask the question: Which came first, the chicken or the egg the top exec resignation or the company reorganization?

Your brain will get balled-up in a knot today, with the news that Microsoft will reorganize its online services and Windows groups as top exec Kevin Johnson leaves to become CEO at Juniper Networks.

[Johnson's] departure coincides with a reorganization of his unit, which had included both online services and Microsoft’s flagship Windows software. Now, Microsoft said, online services and Windows will be split into two groups.

Microsoft will name a new "senior lead position" for its online services unit, the company said in a statement, while senior vice presidents Steven Sinofsky, Jon DeVaan and Bill Veghte will lead the Windows and Windows live units.

Following last week’s lackluster financial performance from both Google and Microsoft, yesterday was Yahoo’s turn to step up to the mic.

The numbers:

• Net income of $131 million
• Revenue of $1.346 billion.
• Q2 earnings of 9 cents per share, with Wall Street expecting 10 cents

The Analysts said:

Collins Stewart analyst Sandeep Aggarwal said Yahoo’s results will likely do little to either help or hinder its effort to remain independent…"It looks like a non-event," Aggarwal said, "it was a bad quarter, but it was also expected."

Yahoo said:

"Despite a difficult economic environment, we posted solid results in line with the ranges we indicated in April…Our diverse advertiser base and compelling value proposition for our customers were key factors behind Yahoo’s strong second-quarter performance," [Chief Financial Officer Blake] Jorgensen said.

Wow. I feel like Google really hears me. First, they make Gmail’s contact system less invasive, and now they add walking directions to Google Maps!

I do a small dance of happiness!

Now, I know there are those of you wondering why this even matters, what difference walking directions makes. Or, as one commenter put it:

Walking directions? Whatever happened to just showing up, facing your body in the direction you wanted to go, and walking?

Of course, the simple answer to the smart alecky question is “I tried that, but I kept walking into things—buildings, oncoming traffic . . . rivers” (return snark for snark is a Biblical injunction, isn’t it?).
