Google's Marissa Mayer Named Yahoo CEO

Yahoo has a new CEO — again! This time the selection came completely out of left field. Marissa Mayer, a former Google executive and one of the company's first two dozen employees, has taken the reins of the struggling Yahoo. According to The New York Times, Mayer resigned from Google via telephone. In addition to her role as CEO, she also becomes a Yahoo board member.


   Mayer took over at a tumultuous time for the fading Web icon. She is the company's fourth CEO in less than four years. Her hiring, which edged out front-runner and acting CEO Ross Levinsohn, indicates that the Internet company is likely to focus on Web technology and products rather than beefing up online content.


现年 37岁的玛莉萨‧梅耶尔毕业于史丹佛大学,拥有史丹佛大学符号系统学士及计算机科学硕士学位。于 1999 年加入谷歌,是公司编号 20号的员工,在谷歌的 13 年间历任工程师、设计师、产品经理及副总裁等职位。


在梅耶尔接任雅虎新任执行长之前,雅虎历经一连串的高层人事动荡。2008年抗拒微软收购,反而导致公司股价下跌的创办人兼执行长杨致远下台后,来自 Autodesk 的苏珊‧巴尔茨(Susan Bartz)又无法阻止营收下滑、抢回市占率而于 2011 年 9 月被迫去职。今年 1 月才从 eBay 请来的史考特‧汤普森(Scott Thompson)又旋因学历丑闻下台。在此期间,雅虎历经公司数度人事裁撤及策略摇摆,不论搜寻或媒体业务都早已不复往日光辉。


雅虎表示,梅耶尔女士在因特网界是顶尖级的高层主管,其任命象征公司更重视产品创新。


Shooting at Dark Knight Rises Showing in Colorado

A gunman wearing a gas mask set off an unknown gas before opening fire into a Colorado movie theater at an opening of the latest Batman movie, killing 12 people and injuring at least 50, authorities said.


   Police in the suburbs just east of Denver quickly arrested the shooter, James E. Holmes, a 24-year-old graduate student studying neuroscience at the University of Colorado. He has no known criminal history other than a speeding violation.


   Some moviegoers said they thought the attack was part of the show. Then they saw a silhouette of a person in the smoke at the front of the theater, pointing a gun at the crowd.


科罗拉多州『黑暗骑士:黎明升起』

枪击案


有关当局表示,一名戴防毒面具的持枪者在科罗拉多州某家戏院内先释放了一股不明气体,再向群众开火,当时戏院内正在播放最新一集的蝙蝠侠电影,此举造成 12 人死亡及至少 50 人受伤。


警方迅速在丹佛市东部郊区逮捕了这位名叫詹姆士‧

E‧霍姆斯的枪手,他是正就读科罗拉多大学神经科学的 24 岁研究生。他除了一张违规超速罚单外并无其他刑事纪录。


一些电影院的观众表示,他们还以为枪击是电影表演的一部分。接着他们就看见电影院前方一个黑色人影出现在烟雾中,用枪指着群众。



美国科罗拉多州骇人枪击案嫌犯霍姆斯(James Holmes)落网后,当局和媒体陆续曝光其身分,自称『小丑』的霍姆斯是科罗拉多大学神经科学研究生。邻居和同学指出,霍姆斯不但住处从未拉开窗帘,也没开过灯,性格十分孤僻。


霍姆斯被证实性格上有缺陷。他的邻居表示,霍姆斯从小就爱独来独往,是一个内心非常孤独的人,极少主动和其他人交谈,即便如此邻居还是认为霍姆斯为人似乎不差,可是却无法理解为何硕士毕业后,长时间苦苦找不到工作。


纽约警局局长凯利(Raymond Kelly)表示,他听取简报得知,嫌疑人把头发染红,称自己是蝙蝠侠敌人『小丑』(Joker)。


科罗拉多警方指出,霍姆斯以前从未有过重大犯罪纪录,只有被开过一张违规驾驶的罚单,对于这名研究生突然失控杀人,感到不解。(数据源:今日新闻网)
