Arrington and Bartz trade banter about expectations for Yahoo’s performance after she joined only recently. She says Apple took seven years to grow its market cap after Jobs rejoined. Arrington starts the exchange:

So how the f-ck are you?

He needles her about not reading TechCrunch. Bartz:

You are involved in a very tiny company, and it probably takes a long time to even convince yourself what to do….So f-ck off.

Arrington interviews Yahoo CEO Bartz at Disrupt. Bartz:

Listen, Yahoo’s a great company that is very, very strong in content for its users, uses amazing technology to serve up what, increasingly, we think is going to be the web of one…It’s a place where you can just get it together.
