Aol exec: not clear Yahoo is admitting its problems
Former Yahoo exec turned Aol Consumer Apps President Brad Garlinghouse answers questions about the merger talks, the 'Peanut Butter Manifesto,' and why he thinks Yahoo is still doing it wrong.
Even four years later, Brad Garlinghouse may well best be remembered as the former Yahoo senior vice president who in 2006 shipped out a company-wide Jerry Maguire-esque memo that recognized Yahoo's (YHOO) achievements but chastised the company for lacking vision, accountability and MORE

The Carol Bartz departures: Where are Yahoo alums now?
In her 22 month stint as Yahoo CEO, numerous high-level executives have left Bartz behind, sometimes for greener pastures.

Carol Bartz is friggin' interesting
The Yahoo CEO offers candid views on life post-retirement -- and dealing with activist shareholders
At Fortune's Most Powerful Women conference in Carlsbad, Calif., Yahoo (YHOO) CEO Carol Bartz didn't talk much tech but didn't disappoint.
In characteristically blunt language that was peppered with not-quite-explicit words like "friggin' " and "damn" (she declined to talk about the way she talks, telling interviewer Andy Serwer: "I don't think it's that interesting, personally") Bartz MORE
