The thinking of the top executives of many Silicon Valley companies is 1980's. The attitude and thinking of the executives is out of touch with the current economy and thinking of the purchasing public, much like the auto companies. With Yahoo now seeking a new CEO, I'd like to suggest that they look for someone with fresh ideas, a "true" entrepreneurial attitude and a think outside of the box attitude. I would strongly suggest that Yahoo look outside of Silicon Valley. That being said I would like to highly recommend that a friend of mine be considered for that position. His name is James Kennedy. I think it is time for the next revolution in Silicon Valley and I think Jim can lead that wave.
