OPINION: THE YAHOO! BITCH GLITCH

Image
IN TWEET: YAHOO! DEFINITELY NEEDS PRESS…JUST NOT THE KIND OF PRESS CEO MARISSA MAYER HAS BEEN GENERATING OF LATE. Meet Marissa Mayer , a cautionary tale in the making. Don’t let the warm smile and sparkling eyes fool you. She’s what happens when an apple falls far from the Google tree, rolls down a storm drain and settles under that withering Yahoo! bush. You know, the one clinging to life in the sunlight deprived corner of the internet garden. It’s been almost two weeks since  Silicon Valley flipped out over a leaked memo from Yahoo! HR big wig Jackie Reses . Buried deep in a shit pile of sunshine and roses was the lead. In short, scrubbed of the HR warm and fuzzy, if you currently work for Yahoo! from a remote location, one of the following will be changing in June: your location or your employer. Cue lead balloon. To be fair, it doesn’t take much to raise hackles in the ol’ SV but this particular story took on a life of it’s own and went global . Of course, Reses was merel...

LEGACY: ROGER EBERT

Image
IN TWEET: ROGER EBERT AND GENE SISKEL INVENTED THE “DUELING CRITICS” FORMAT. SISKEL PASSED AWAY IN 1999 AND, TODAY, ROGER EBERT JOINED HIM IN THAT GREAT BIG MOVIE PALACE IN THE SKY. Roger Ebert , legendary film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times and one half of TV movie review duo Siskel and Ebert, died today after a long battle with cancer. Ebert had just posted online Tuesday about his relapse but, he was optimistic about bouncing back. He was 70 years old. When I was a kid, as far as movie reviews went, there was Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert . The rest of the critics were also-rans. Siskel and Ebert were the gold standard for movie lovers and trademarked their signature thumbs up/thumbs down style of final verdict. If one or, heaven forbid, both hated a movie, two thumbs down could spell death at the box office. They had that much power. Not only did people trust them, the audience loved them. Their constant bickering and sometimes vocal disagreements were a big part of the attra...
