Resumegate Continues At Yahoo: Thompson Out As CEO, Levinsohn In

Google85 writes with this news from All Things D: "Yahoo's embattled CEO Scott Thompson is set to step down from his job at the Silicon Valley Internet giant, in what will be a dramatic end to a controversy over a fake computer science degree that he had on his bio, according to multiple sources close to the situation. The company will apparently say he is leaving for 'personal reasons.' Thompson's likely replacement on an interim basis will be Yahoo's global media head, Ross Levinsohn, who most recently also ran its Americas unit, including its advertising sales."

There are two constants to language: 1. languages evolve and take on new words and idioms and 2. some pedantic asshole is always there shouting "get off my lawn!"
