News is going around that Yahoo! is looking for a new CEO .

This quote, which went viral 2 months ago and that Steinbeck probably never said, has stuck with me:
I chatted with a young guy last night about his new startup idea. He’s got a vision for a social commerce app with a few cool spins on it. As I listened to him, I was thinking about how I had heard this exact pitch half a dozen times before. I also knew I had a lot to offer him in terms of help. I have a good friend…
