What I took away from all of this:

Now that Arianna is auctioning off her virginity she's going to have to get a handle on how to operate some genitals.

So ... Yahoo is news and groups and Google isn't? This is so? Has she researched her opposition? Next she'll tell us Yahoo has free messages and Google doesn't.

@Tremonius: Totally... "you don't go to google for financial news", really? That's the primary place I go.

I like that she's standing up for her company, but she should pick examples that aren't completely fictitious.

@jjshaftoe: I'm trying to think of one unique item Yahoo has besides periodic panicked meetings with that Ballmer guy.

I don't find it endearing at all that this woman cannot make it through a Q&A or a speech without saying "fuck." It really doesn't take that much control to not say bad words.

@m4ximusprim3: Yes, Ballmer, who like all of them uses the "I" word incessantly. The reason they are parrots spouting Innovation is that they've never exhibited any. They didn't invent DOS, they retailed it. They didn't invent GUI, they copied it. They didn't invent the word processing, spreadsheet, browser, music, search, gaming market, they ran over it with a great big rig with Windows on the side. The F word would be much more honest for a softie.

If my competition were half my age and 1,000 times richer, you'd hear about it from me too. I mean, FUCK!

@Krashstar: Oh, and self-made to boot. The only thing Carol Bartz has started in a garage is her car. And maybe a fist fight with a parking attendant.

"As to those filthy Yahoos, although there were few greater lovers of mankind, at that time, than myself, yet I confess I never saw any sensitive being so detestable on all accounts; and the more I came near them, the more hateful they grew, while I stayed in that country."
