For the 3 months ending 2011-12-31 (last quarter available), Yahoo!'s revenue was US$1.3B, with a net income of nearly 
US$300M - for the _quarter_.

I wish I were in such "questionable/bad financial shape".

Before anyone pounces, yes, I know they're not growing.  The results above up slightly from Q3 2011, although down 
slightly (~5%) from Q4 2010.  But they still make more revenue & profit than 99.mumble% of the companies represented on 
this list.  And they have more than enough to do abuse correctly.  Perhaps more importantly, I seriously doubt Yahoo! 
mail is going away any time soon.
