Business 2.0 Nutty Fastest Growing Tech Co. List

Someone who edits business mags has to change the way they define parameters for their "fastest growing" and "best managed" lists.

The new Business 2.0 Fastest Growing Tech Companies list is based on "four financial criteria: growth in revenue, profit, and operating cash flow during the past three years, and the 12-month stock return as of Dec. 31, 2006". It sound fine, and the No.1 company, Akamai (AKAM), makes sense.

It's their list and their criteria but making the cut are Yahoo! (YHOO), Micron (MU), and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

C'mon. It's surprising Sandisk (SNDK) did not make the list.
