hey everyone I'm Molly wood and welcome to the bus report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about this week Yahoo's totally tacky CEO break up The Bodyguard reimagined at apple headquarters and Groupons IPO is starting to look a little like a smoking crater but there's good news up first with the gadget of the week the gadget of the week is the droid bionic at long last after an almost nine month wait the motorola super phone that was announced at CES finally came out this week and it's a whole new super phone now in fact the only disappointment now is that it doesn't make the Six Million Dollar Man Bionic noise as its default ringtone but it's a cnet editors choice it's the first dual core phone to support Verizon's 4G network it has a sleek new form factor although it's roughly as big as your entire face thanks to the 4.3 inch screen on it it has an 8-megapixel camera HD video capture the mobile hotspot feature Gingerbread and a beefy new battery that will actually stand up to the fact that it's a little tiny supercomputer well I mean I guess tiny is kind of relative I don't know I was just hoping for a slightly bigger screen just me and now for the news Carol Bartz was fired as Yahoo CEO this week and in her trademark style she told it like it was she sent an email to employees that said to all I am very sad to tell you that I've just been fired over the phone by Yahoo's chairman of the board it has been my pleasure to work with all of you and I wish you only the best going forward Carol actually I can't believe there weren't a few swear words in that email cuz fired over the phone wow classy guys anyway the phone firing comes as yahoo has continued to make a lot of money more than a billion dollars in pure profit in 2010 and attract a lot of users but it just didn't have any focus or nerd love or shareholder trust and then of course everyone immediately started wondering whether Yahoo was a takeover target although co-founder and former CEO jerry yang told employees that Yahoo is not for sale he said everything is business as usual there's going to buckle down and grow and grow and even though the board seems like it doesn't have a plan but fired the CEO anyway it's all going to be fine I bet they totally bought that too oh yeah remember that one time in the bathroom when Microsoft wanted to marry you and I told you to just take the damn ring Microsoft ain't showing up in a limo like mr. big girlfriend that ship has sailed Apple is hoping to lock the barn door after the horses went out to bars and left iPhones in them the company has posted two job listings for product security management specialists I suggest they hire one guy named stone and another guy named Killa sprint has added its signature to a new lawsuit intended to block the proposed AT&T t-mobile merger meanwhile another hearing on the merger proposal is happening September 21st in Washington where AT&T is expected to continue to argue that the merger will be nothing but awesome sauce and unicorn breath if you would only just listen what are you not understanding here it's also clear don't you see this is like the part of the wedding where the priest says does anyone have any objections to this Union and then every single hand in the church goes up not just the one ex-boyfriend who drank too much before the wedding everyone groupon has cancelled its IPO roadshow after reports the company might have violated the SEC quiet period rules when its CEO wrote this big internal memo about how great they are and then that memo is immediately leaked to The Wall Street Journal because that's not what quiet period means the company is reportedly thinking about delaying its IPO because the market has been so volatile lately also because of all the reports that they're losing money and users at a seriously alarming rate also because of reports that their 30 year old CEO is totally arrogant thinks the rules don't apply to him and is going to ride his steed of hubris right into the ground and take the whole deals business with him I bet quiet period sounds kind of good to them right now and finally let's have a look at what's clogging the tubes I've been ignoring the entire story about Michael Arrington and TechCrunch because I don't really care that much and it kind of feels like Valley inside baseball stuff but it turns out if it's big enough for the crew at the Taiwanese news animation desk it's big enough for me chiming photochemical yelling don't i see cool cool on Pine Hollow TechCrunch por
