He had a chance to merge with the <em>geeky boys of Google</em>, yet he told his staff, "there's no <em>fucking</em> way we're going to do this!" Keep in mind that Google today controls nearly 70 percent of the search-related advertising market, an industry worth more than $15 billion a year and growing roughly 50 percent a year. I bet Semel is pissed off as hell - because this could have been Yahoo! In a years time, Strigl's face will turn the color of Yahoo's purple logo. Source: Wired - Feb edition.

They’re not going to just walk in.” Ha ha ha! Fucked royally.
