    Ok. Way too much going on in this photo for one evening's viewing pleasure. Some notes:


    a) Check out the Pelosi's, right behind O.

    b) What's with the Luftwaffe pilot in the top right?

    c) Would you be good enough to run this through your facial recognition software, or find the seating chart with all the names?

    I'll never understand the vicarious thrill people get when they say "I was there" for an event which they had little (if any) personal contributions.

    Don't care what anyone says, I love working at Yahoo - always have and always will. I bleed purple and if you ask me, I plan to be there as long as I can.

    You know, their horoscopes section seems to be quite popular. Perhaps they should promote whoever is in charge of that.


    If you're going to make decisions based on total bullshit, it might as well be bullshit people like, right?

    @Krashstar:

    The funny thing about horoscopes is that for the nearly 6 years I worked at Yahoo, there was *no* engineer assigned to that property. It had a part-time product manager that made sure it kept collecting revenue, but otherwise it was pretty much on autopilot.

    As a former Yahoo, I find it rather sad to read about its slow demise. Beginning in earnest with Terry Semel, there has been a steady rot within the ranks of its management that is leading the company further down the road to oblivion. I'm curious as to what the current employees have to say about their situation -- whether the blames lies on the internal politics and petty fiefdoms which are destroying morale, incapable management (Yes, I mean you Jerry, Sue, and Ash!), or the insane bureaucracy that has infiltrated the company.


    Any current Yahoos, do speak up!

    Yahoo's fortunes have fallen ever since they started charging for their personals. Coincidence? Nope.

    In reply to Yahoo's Holiday Bonus: A Lawsuit Settled
    Some of you may not know that this is a holiday seasons tradition at Yahoo to encourage donate, and this is not the first time (last year as well) employees were provided the opportunities to donate to their favorite charities.

    Let's be fair. I talked to a number of folks at Yahoo, many (and myself included) considers this a nice gesture.

    Lawsuit or what not, and charity are totally different subjects. Besides, that settlement was an OLD NEWS. I am appalled at this kind of continuous trashing just for the sake of trashing.

    @VachelRadassical: People that are about to be jobless ARE a charity. I cannot believe the corporate ego that some companies maintain. To make Yahoo look good a bunch of borderline unemployed people need to give money away? Sorry, Vachel, but that's sick.

    @ciscokidinsf: I noticed that also. Now I have to wade through all this Gawker stuff (which I'll admit is occasionally interesting). I thought valleywag.com was going to remain open and contain just the Valleywag stories, but it's been returning a blank page for longer and longer periods of time lately.
