text: Yahoo Shareholders Meeting Astoundingly Boring 
   
   With the exception of a lone crass question from an elderly shareholder who should know better, Yahoo’s annual meeting — the first under Marissa Mayer, the fourth CEO to run the company in the last five years — was largely an uneventful affair. 
   
   As expected, Yahoo shareholders re-elected all directors who stood for re-election and endorsed the company’s executive compensation plan. And, as expected, Mayer talked up the progress the company has made since she took the top job last July. 
   
   The most visible evidence of that is a spike in mobile users since the spring redesign of mobile email and Yahoo’s Flickr photo-sharing service. According to Mayer, Yahoo mobile email usage has increased 70 percent since it was overhauled in April, and photo uploads via the Flickr mobile app have risen 50 percent since its redesign last month. 
   
   “We want to build products that delight and inspire, because all of our growth starts with users,” said Mayer. “That leads to traffic and advertising and ultimately to revenue. … So we’re focused on making the world’s daily habits inspiring and entertaining.” 
   
   At $24.87, shares of Yahoo are up well over three percent in afternoon trading. ||||| Here's the latest reason it's kinda sucky being the CEO of a public company. 
   
   At Yahoo's shareholder meeting, a scuzzy shareholder said to Marissa Mayer, "I'm Greek and I'm a dirty old man, and you look attractive." 
   
   He then asked about a dividend. 
   
   We almost didn't believe our ears. We were watching a live stream of the event. But, other people on Twitter confirmed that he said it. 
   
   Gross. 
   
   Mayer handled it very well. She just ignored his scuzzball comment. 
   
   He wasn't the only one asking pointless, off-the-wall questions. 
   
   Another shareholder asked her who she was going to root for when the Green Bay Packers played the San Francisco 49ers. She's from Wisconsin, so she's root for the Pack, she said. 
   
   She also was harangued by Walmart employees because she's on the board of Walmart. She deflected those questions, saying she was there to talk about Yahoo.

   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. 
   
   Mayer does a great job of ignoring dirty George. I wish only that we could see him, and all his resplendent Greek dirt.
target: – Oh, the joy of being a female CEO, and in the tech industry, no less: At Yahoo's shareholder meeting today, Marissa Mayer got to hear this from a questioner, reports Sam Biddle at ValleyWag (which has the video): "I have 2,000 shares of Yahoo, I'm Greek, and I'm a dirty old man, and you look attractive." The shareholder then went on to carp about dividends, and Mayer "handled it very well," writes Jay Yarow at Business Insider. "She just ignored his scuzzball comment." And beyond that, the meeting was "largely an uneventful affair," adds John Paczkowski at AllThingsD.
