Yahoo's CEO Is a Thumb Sucker

Yahoo CEO Can't Say 'Algorithmic'
Here's Carol Bartz on Fox Business Network, explaining what sets Yahoo apart from Google. For one, the internet company is not all fancy sciencepants and "algothorithic" or "algomorthmic" or whatever. Indeed, it doesn't even know that word. More » -
