Nibble Carol Bartz takes poisoned chalice

AS WE PREDICTED last week, the troubled search outfit has named Carol Bartz as its new chief executive.

Bartz is a technology veteran (60) who has been lured away from software outfit Autodesk to sort the company out.

She replaces co-founder Jerry Yang, who cost Yahoo shareholders a fortune by nixing a Volish buyout.

Apparently the move has miffed president Susan Decker who was also a candidate for the CEO job. She now plans to resign after a transitional period. µ

No it's the chalice from the palace that holds the brew that is true.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
