Not sure how the focus on prestigious degrees squares with the seven figure acqui-hire of a seventeen year old that hasn't finished his high school qualifications yet...

I'm willing to believe that people with prestigious qualifications not seeking work at more prestigious companies and startup wunderkinds are probably the worst talent pools for Yahoo to be trying to dredge, especially considering the wealth of smart developers who don't fit into those brackets are probably more likely to stick around.
