Certainly Yahoo! wouldn't exist without the sort of environment that Stanford gave us to allow us to create it.

My time at Yahoo, from its founding to the present, has encompassed some of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of my life.

The time has come for me to pursue other interests outside of Yahoo.

I thought I wanted to be an electrical engineer, which I turned out to be. But I was always curious about other things too, and what if I got interested in history or the law?

You have to ask what is going to happen to a lot of companies when there is not a lot more money to be gotten. That changes everybody's perspective, I think.
