    She apparently still sits on the Yahoo! board. Awkward...

    I don't think Yahoo! will ever again be a company that develops trends. The company will still make money copying Google and Facebook, but the idea that it will change the world is gone.

    She sucked. She was a terrible CEO. Every time they delivered earnings reports, she asked for another six months to turn things around, and it has been clear to everyone in the business world that she was never going to turn things around. So she can play martyr all she wants, and she makes for an entertaining interview with all the cursing, but the firing was justifiable any way you look at it.

    Also: Her severance package was $10 million.

    Fuck her.
