Rumor: Internal Yahoo memo suggests CEO Jerry Yang may be out (venturebeat.com)

Being bost companies have denied it already and the circumstances around it all (not to mention the fact that Microsoft and Yahoo reaching a deal from supposedly dead talks in less than 24 hours at ~$19 a share? c'mon!) lead me to believe this truly is a rumor...

but would Jerry really be missed? I mean he did make nearly everyone at Yahoo soil themselves when he sends them an e-mail that 10% of them are fired but nobody knows who, and then tells them, more or less, "have a happy weekend" smile and wink.


The article has been updated to indicate that the rumor was baloney.


Oh, Yahoo stock is going to start doing some zig-zagging soon. The volume on the trades went pretty high when it touched $9, and those people will want to exit with some profit.


Rumor != news

Maybe ban rumors from HN?
