Misguided managers, Luddite corporate raiders, a thuggish hostile takeover from a software giant, a revolving door of employees, a dash of Internet moolah and a tough-talking lady CEO to the rescue! Also some Googzilla action thrown in for good measure. Of course, it has all the elements of a good story for Vanity Fair magazine! Actually, Yahoo has all the elements of a good Mexican telenovela, but it’s only a magazine article that is apparently in the cards to chronicle the stumbles and bumbles of the Internet giant.
