Sadly, no. I was at this conference, but I missed this. Update: This link from the video explains it all. http://zennie2005.blogspot.com/2010/05/yahoos-ceo-carol-bart... To set the stage, Arrington was pressing Bartz on the idea that the best companies are often "single-revenue-source" producers, and was implying that Yahoo, by getting away from search to his view, was moving away from what could work for the company. While asserting that Yahoo! is still a search company, Bartz disagreed, pointing to successful firms that were conglomerates. Then Bartz seemed to think that Arrington was saying that because Yahoo! had not created a device they were not innovative and lacked direction. Bartz then focused on his "tiny company," saying that even with a firm as small as his, he didn't always know what direction he was going in. "So don't give me crap about what the fine people of Yahoo! are supposed to do, so F-off." |

It was not meant to be mean, and to be frank Mike really deserved it. He kept giving her a hard time and asking questions not just to get to know what she has in mind, but to ridicule her.
