part of an organization that from the very beginning in 2007 with the NSA and FISA and prism has been skeptical of and has been scrutinizing those requests in 2007 yahoo filed a lawsuit against the the new of the Patriot Act parts of a prism and FISA we fought that we were the the key plaintiff a lot of people have wondered about that case and who and who it was it was asked you lobbyists we lost and then we can't not you you weren't there but right but the thing is like when you when you when you lose so we leave fought we lost yeah you if you don't comply it's treason yeah trees oh and rich of pubs you know well you didn't think now you're going through the process of suing the dough so now what we do is on each request we review it we scrutinize it we push back on a lot we push back on a lot of who cuts from local government and we push back on requests in you know in terms of the NSA we can't talk about wanting because they're classified you were up the apple event yesterday and you seem to like the fingerprint NSA scanner thing on the phone and so why why would you be in favor of anything like that that they can gather more information and artists so it's fine while know it's funny because I didn't realize there was a reporter it was a somebody at the end of the man who just said like what did you like and I step in your bow so I didn't really know that it gotten picked up with the uh um but I mean I think I liked about it and sort of funny because you mocked me once backstage at TechCrunch so maybe it was on the web because Mike was making fun of me because I don't have a passcode on my phone oh yeah I'm like my girls like are you crazy and I was like look I just can't do this past of a thing like yeah 15 times a day and then like but I saw the fingerprint thing I was like and now I don't have to yeah so yeah I was excited about that and I just think that like building in some of these smart sensors into the small into phone is really exciting when I look at the state of what we're doing inside the company i have said it's going to take multiple years and by that i mean probably three or more to really get the company going in the direction that we wanted to and having the growth really be at the rate that we want it to be but for for me it's really a chain reaction of four things hiring the right people having them build the right products getting that too that turned into traffic because traffic ultimately leads to revenue online and we're doing really well and support things products people products traffic and revenue back to the logo so what the happened here right well i mean i should say that i like the way the logo turned out and i like the way that we did it I mean we really pride ourselves at Yahoo at being the world's largest startup yep yeah we're a big an established company we need to be really entrepreneurial and our attitude is to be really scrappy and the way that we did the logo we kept it in house we didn't have someone you know as an external firm or consulting for him we didn't spend millions of dollars doing it we did in a way that came from a very authentic place
