half of google employees have 'out of the money' options.

She has the entire email list of the company...

If she brings 6 to 10 tech leads...then she has a shot at a 100 who would have looked at Facebook or start ups ...

She scaled Google Maps and Gmail.

and at least her CS degree is real...(grin)

Being good at CS and being good at management are two different things.

Anyone who has suffered from Google's indifference should wish her success in turning Yahoo into an effective competitor.

I'm guessing they went for someone who can potentially bring other key players from Google onboard.

Probably depends how many Google staffers are on the same bus!
