Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz knows how to lob an f-bomb, and I can understand her frustration after being questioned by Michael Arrington. But the cuss words can’t detract from the weakness of her response. “First Carol complained that the media is expecting too much from Yahoo so soon after she joined. She said that it took Apple 7 years to grow its market cap after Steve Jobs returned.” Dear Ms. Bartz: THIS IS THE INTERNET AND IT’S 2010. NOBODY gets seven years anymore. Not even Steve Jobs.

You wrote: I tried to go a little further afield with the more general question How do you cure a cold? I had mixed results with this one. On one hand I got questions like “How Do You Get Rid of a Cold,” which is great, but then I got “How to Treat a Dog with a Cold” and the completely perplexing “How Do You Season a Cast Iron Skillet”. Um, what?
Some say you season a skillet, others say you “cure” the skillet. So the machine put a different spin on the term “cure.” Maybe some of the process should be done with the skillet is cold?
