I guess my comment is more directed at the following:
1. If you're going to promote design-thinking in a company (which I believe Yahoo needs to do in order to grow) than making comments like this is a disservice. This creates a culture of "well if it's old and looks like shit then it must be shit" that should instead be "listen to your audience".
2. This is also talking about the sentiment from outside of Yahoo (and possibly in the echo chamber of HN). I get why Yahoo internally would say it, which I would then revert back to my point #1.
