Yahoo Inc. said Monday that its co-founder and chief executive, Jerry Yang, will step down after the company finds a replacement, following a tumultuous and short tenure that included the company's rejection of an offer by Microsoft Corp. to buy the company.

Very curious timing, but not unexpected.

Serves him right for letting his hatred of Microsoft punish his shareholders.

Jerry’s got a tiny Yang and now everyone knows it.

Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out.

Yang stepping down clears the way for Yin to step up.

[Revolting cat!]

He should have sold the company to Bluescreensoft, Inc, and let them destroy a great name brand like they had destroyed their own.

Wa???

Why not! The dude won the WSOP in 2007.

“Yang stepping down clears the way for Yin to step up.”

....great line!

He ran it into the ground. The bastard had the gall to stand for re-election after vetoing the Microsoft deal, and now he flat walks away less than six months later after the shares have fallen 75%.
