I Agree, you made a fair point and while it may not be data studded it wasn't trolling either. I do disagree though. I don't know the woman, but i listened to

I Agree, you made a fair point and while it may not be data studded it wasn't trolling either. I do disagree though. I don't know the woman, but i listened to a lecture she gave via the STVP Podcast series. She seemed really bright and if I remember correctly didn't have a computer graphic background before joining AutoDesk. It is easy to lambast "pointy haired bosses" but it seems like Yahoo is a classic case of a company needing strategic realignment. They have amazing traffic spread over dozens of business units. Her task is to rationalize those, set a course and turn around a massive company. Her success at AutoDesk would suggest she will be able to hire the right technical leaders to join her team.
