Hope so. I guess last exodus was in 2012 when top people like Marissa Mayer and her reports got poached.

Looks like Google dodged a bullet there.

Dunno, I think Yahoo! was basically unfixable. I mean, what would you have done differently? They just had too much dead wood, including the brand name.

Yahoo! became a holding company for Alibaba and Yahoo! Japan. The search and online services are just window dressing.

Technically, the GP said Google's top talent in the context of a possible 2017 exodus.

That has nothing to do with Marissa Mayer.
