NYT on Terry Semel of Yahoo!

prostoalex writes "With the recent CEO smackdown and Steve Jobs profiled by BusinessWeek, The New York Times talks about yet another high-tech CEO - Terry Semel of Yahoo! An outsider to the industry, Terry Semel currently leads the global company with the broadest reach. NYT looks into Yahoo!'s most valuable assets - technology produced by its employees, and covers many Yahoo! products, some of which, like Yahoo! Search, launched 2 years ago, trail only Google in the amount of users."

  1. Do No Evil -- Except for Money! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Evil Google helped the illegitimate Chinese government to enslave its own people.

    Greedy Yahoo! betrayed the Chinese journalist Shi Tao into imprisonment.

    Immoral Microsoft has shut down the Chinese-language weblog of Mr. Zhao Jing.

    If you work for Microsoft, you have a moral obligation to quit your job in protest.

    The Communist Chinese government murders people, and Microsoft is its helper.

    If you own stock in Microsoft Corporation, you are a murderer by proxy.

    To Microsoft, money is more important than DEMOCRACY and HUMAN RIGHTS.

    Conscientious decision-makers have a fiduciary obligation to abandon Microsoft censorship
    and to migrate their information-technology purchases to sources supportive of free speech.

    Cryptome CN publishes information, documents and opinions banned by Beyzhing and Microsoft.

  3. A Gulfstream IV to Sunnyvale? by AnimalCoward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    He commutes to Sunnyvale three or four days a week on the Gulfstream IV corporate jet that he and Mr. Daly bought from Warner Brothers when they resigned in 1999.
    A Gulfstream IV to commute from LA to Sunnyvale? They is a jet that is being completely underutilized. Good they own it and not Google, or else it could be considered a miss-used corporate asset. Why not a Citation jet? It's cheaper and build for that kind of "short" commute. The G IV is for crossing continents and oceans.
    Disclaimer: I only read 1/2 of the first page because I found the article rather boring.
