A week in which spellcheck failed us

I have to say, after a week spent putting up with everyone clamoring for our fearless leader Owen Thomas to return from a well-deserved vacation, no one will give him a warmer welcome back than I will — at times, I was almost ready to leave the Internet, Jakob Lodwick-style. If 101 was backed up more than usual, it was probably because of rubberneckers transfixed by the wreck that Yahoo has become. Sue Decker might finally be able to grab the wheel in a reorganization, but few employees seem to want to carpool with her, especially with Ash Patel riding shotgun. It's gotten so bad, they'll pick up any startup looking to hitchhike. Microsoft's board finally showed their relative wisdom, but they drove away in a cheaper lemon. (Photo by María Luisa Gómez)
