“Late Tuesday night Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer, a finalist and runner-up for Time’s 2012 Person of the Year award, visited the 5th Avenue Apple Store in New York City,” Eli Langer reports for CNBC.
“Mayer posted a tweet to Twitter that read: “The 5th Avenue Apple store at 11pm. Wow…” The tweet also included a Flickr photo taken from the stairwell of the store as she headed downstairs,” Langer reports.
If a photo speaks a thousand words, here’s what this one tells us:

2) No one seems to notice Mayer is there… no public tweets made note of her presence
3) Mayer chose not to use a filter on her Flickr photo
4) Yahoo and Apple may be warming up to each other
5) Yahoo is playing offense. Mayer’s tweet… silently promotes Flickr – Yahoo!Flickr’s iOS app

They didn’t make CEOs like that when I was young. 🙂
I didn’t even read the article. I just wanted to see Marissa on the big red ball.
She is saying Wow because the store id filled at 11PM – what other store can say that (Wal-Mart on Black Friday?)
She’s not a CEO. She’s Santa’s secret weapon.
She helps Santa know who’s naughty and who’s nice.
After seeing that picture, you can chalk me up as naughty.
And me; for her, I could be a very naughty boy indeed!
ditto
We also learned that people in NY wear a lot of black.
That’s not news. It’s been that way for over the last 2 decades. At least.
What of it?
But really anything close to this one turns naughty. Shame.
How can she walk in those shoes?
What shoes?…
Look at the picture. Pinch and zoom and look at those ridiculous shoes. I’d be more impressed if she wore jeans, a black turtleneck, and sneakers.
C’mon, dude. She’s young, she’s hot, and she’s rich. And I bet she could outrun you in those shoes.
So you find someone who dresses like your average American female student tourist sexy, then?
Deary me, what a sad man you are.
My daughter could run in those. All it takes is years of wearing high heels. My wife was the same in her younger years.
Holy sh**, if guys knew how hot she was, they’d start using Yahoo a lot more. I just officially switched my iPhone default search engine.
+100500.
Yahoo should drop their ridiculous outdated logo and switch it to just picture of Marissa Mayer.
She should filter and reject the crap that Yahoo Finance allows to pass as journalism or financially competent/credible reporting recently, on Yahoo Finance: Apple news. It only serves to discredit Yahoo Finance’s credibility and standing.
Gosh, whatever she says — if it is right, then it is great, if it is not, then we will forgive her (seriously, I am unarmed before such lady).
The perfect woman isn’t one who likes sports- it’s one who shops at the Apple Store.
Ms. Mayer is so darn gorgeous and even more with those heels on a bright red BOUNCY ball 😉
Kidding aside, I admire not only is she drop dead gorgeous but has a brain to go with it! Not many like her 🙂
Now if we can only confirm that she’s not crazy then she’d be perfect. Remember Basic Instinct? Catherine Trammel (Sharon Stone) was also gorgeous and had a brain.
Tru Dat BJB 🙂
I am not sure it you know it but Sharon Stone is an actor and was acting the role of a smart woman. To those who are of average intelligence, that is what they think ‘smart’ acts like.
What do yo mean by “smart acts like” mean? Smart doesn’t act in any one way. Some smart people are adept at acting dumb, which can be really smart in some situations.
Sharont Stone has an outstanding IQ, by the way. So it was not hard for her to play smart woman.
She plays what the director asks for and what the audience thinks a smart person would be like. She is an actor who may be smart. Wikipedia says:
For many years, Stone maintained that she had an IQ of 148[35] and was a member of Mensa,[36][37] but in April 2002, she admitted she was not, and had never been, a member of that society.[36][38] Jim Blackmore of Mensa said, “It’s delightful to finally see Ms. Stone admit that she’s not and never has been a member of our society.” Blackmore admits Stone may be as clever as many like to think. He says, “My gut feeling is that she would definitely qualify. But that’s just based on what we’ve been told by other individuals.”[38]
But have you heard her annoying laugh? She is like a playboy model… great until you hear her speak.. Good luck Yahoo!
@Ari Ben Sion,
Good thing.
If she took voice lessons and fixed that… the rest of us (gals) would have to just hang it up!
😉
“2) No one seems to notice Mayer is there.”
Despite being an extremely attractive woman, she doesn’t have a particularly distinctive look about her, and isn’t really a celeb yet. Plus, NYC is full of attractive women.
Think unsexy thoughts. Think unsexy thoughts.
You just made my day with that Simpsons reference!
No one noticed her in the store because she refrained from laughing. 😉
GOOD ONE – CB! Can someone make a video compilation of Melissa’s laugh spliced with glamour shots? That would be the antidote, if you ever needed one…right, Karen?
11:00 PM Why isn’t she home taking care of her new Baby??
She sold that on eBay.
And Meggie Whitman Harsh bought it in the hopes that the new baby’s inherited good looks and brains might somehow rub off on her. Her sons at Princeton are going to be mighty jealous.
