Makes you wonder about some of Microsoft's undisclosed intentions when Yahoo! was a suitor[1] given what happened when/after Skype[2] entered Microsoft's fold. Though the credible timeline[3] given suggests that Yahoo! may have already been forced to capitulate.
If you're going to bash Microsoft, at least find an accurate point to build your case on. Skype was added to the PRISM program 8 months before being acquired by Microsoft in 2011, and was looking into how to cooperate with wiretaps since 2008 under Project Chess.
She seems to be good at getting nerds talking about Yahoo.
I don't think I was ever in the target market for any of their products, and I almost forgot the company existed, until the recent controversy about the ban on remote working.
I use yahoo for groups (nearly every item of old hardware has a yahoo group[0]) and for auctions on japanese electronics, as ebay never really caught on in japan. I get good use out of yahoo finance aswell.
I understood that to mean he'd forgotten about the company until the remote-working ban controversy brought it back into the spotlight, not that he's boycotting Yahoo on the basis of its remote-working policy
Actually he thought the opposite, that said user was switching to Yahoo! because they banned remote-working on the basis that said user does not approve of remote-working.
Probably the biggest improvement: getting the point across to a huge organization that they're not content just sitting back with things as usual. Yahoo had become the behemoth that plodded along, one step after another. Someone needed to come in and whip the company into shape, from the Veeps on down. If nothing else, she's woken the company up. And that right there is something big.
Sportacular for iOS is also great. Provides no-nonsense scores and news for almost every sport (I mainly follow basketball, tennis and soccer, though). It is a much better interface than what Yahoo's own web equivalent (sports.yahoo.com) has become.
