This recent profile in Vanity Fair is very, very strange, in that it obsesses over Marissa Mayer being very, very strange. It hits all the usual notes about the Yahoo! CEO (She's a geek! She loves fashion! Math, too! Google!) But it also, not-so-subtly, makes repeated innuendos about Mayer possibly being autistic.

It's 2013, and David Karp, David Pogue, and Katie Couric are now coworkers. Think about that. They're not sharing a stage at some boring conference or wacky variety show: they're part of the same baffling mission, and emblematic of just how confused and irrelevant Yahoo! has made itself.

Away from the beanbag-seated crowds and cloud software kiosks at Dreamforce 2013, Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer and Salesforce CEO Mark Benioff sat down on a stage to praise on another. But the panegyric swap was rudely interrupted by labor protestors, calling out Mayer for her board position at Walmart. They responded in the most Silicon Valley way possible.

It appears as though our imperialist friends across the Atlantic have elevated the feature-length glossy troll to an art form. There is no other way to explain why the December issue of British Vogue decided to refer to Yahoo CEO (CEO!) Marissa Mayer, One Kings Lane cofounder Alison Pincus, and Kleiner Perkins partner Juliet de Baubigny as the "alpha trio" of new breed of socialite: "Silicon Wives and Girlfriends."

Fight, fight for Empress Marissa: the arena must be refreshed with nerd blood. After pissing everyone at Yahoo! off by making them come into the office, AllThingsD reports Marissa Mayer's latest HR edict is drawing more ire. Employee versus employee.

If you recall Nick D'Aloisio, it's likely because of the time he spammed Gizmodo to the point of tears, and then sold his dinky app company to Yahoo! for millions of dollars. Then we all forgot about it. Now, the Wall Street Journal says he "has changed the way we read." Really!

She wasn't just going to let Mark Zuckerberg be the only one swallowing up adjacent property, was she? She's been in Vogue, don't you know,and if she wants to spend $11.2 million on a Palo Alto mortuary a block away from her house, then God bless her.

In this month's issue of Fortune, we "meet the most important young iconoclasts, risk-takers, and rule breakers in business"—40 of them, to be exact. At the top of the 40 Under 40 prestige pile is Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer, who, despite lavish press, has accomplished about as much for Yahoo! as you have.

On stage at TechCrunch Disrupt yesterday, after signing Michael Arrington's copy of Vogue, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer offered an odd defense of tech companies silence over PRISM. "We fought, we lost. If you don't comply it's treason."

Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer is very proud of her new logo up there—she made it herself over the weekend! And somehow made the company look more dated than ever. It also represents a Yahoo! that has little idea what it's doing, if it's doing anything at all.

Upside-down uber-acquirer Marissa Mayer is fashioning herself into something of a content queen. According to Kara Swisher, the "hey-look-at-me CEO" wants Yahoo visitors to look at Katie Couric too.

When Marissa Mayer isn't posing upside down in lawn chairs, Yahoo's chief executive is doing normal CEO stuff, like buying this miniature, $33,000 version of Palo Alto's Peninsula Creamery. To place in her backyard. For her infant son.

If Yahoo's determination to dump money on every faltering startup doesn't somehow save the company, at least CEO Marissa Mayer will have a souvenir from the good times.

Most people would consider Yahoo! chief Marissa Mayer's (roughly) $6 million salary enough compensation for her service to her shareholders. Like—after this, we're cool. Six mil. That should do it. But the company's exec team thought individual thanks from Mayer's underlings were in order.

Greek tech investor and self-described filthy senior citizen George Polis is angry about dividends! But first, he'd like to tell you, and all Yahoo present shareholders, that he's attracted to the company's CEO. Yep, this was just as gross to listen to as we thought it'd be.

Investor tells @marissamayer: "I have 2000 Yahoo! shares, I'm Greek, I'm a dirty old man and you look attractive."

Yahoo's betting its entire existence on a new wave of smartphone apps. None of it's come to fruition yet, but the mobile team is already being rewarded, says the New York Post: and the rest of the company's getting the shaft.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer is plowing through a media tour with her newly adopted internet son David Karp. On everyone's mind is how Tumblr will reconcile its vast collection of rape porn GIFs with tween-friendly advertising—and the duo doesn't have much of an answer.

If you enjoy Tumblr's extensive selection of rape fantasy, underage girls, and women having sex with a variety of fauna, good news: Marissa Mayer just said she's keeping Tumblr NSFW.
