Within two hours, they had a deal. Yahoo! would push the show--the second season of The Apprentice--on its home page, show outtakes (repeating "You're fired!" at every opportunity) and even partner to sell ice cream branded to the show. "It was a no-brainer," says Semel. "We will never make shows like The Apprentice, they will never have a [TV] audience as big as Yahoo! Entertainment. It shows the power of combining the two platforms." Unlike many new media promises in recent years, that one worked: Semel got more eyeballs, Burnett got more viewers, and within...
...lively," with a mischievous sense of humor that sometimes got him into trouble. "One day there was flooding in the city," Mercado says. "The chief of police was seen riding piggyback on a citizen, to cross a flooded street, and Allan got that picture. We put it on Page One.

...further complicate matters, HBS’s inexplicably rigid reaction—it has issued a blanket rejection of all applicants who accessed the unpublished decisions website—leaves no room for the possibility that the individuals accessing the decisions page were not the applicants themselves. Clark has stated that applicants should be responsible for their passwords, implying that HBS would not consider cases in which curious spouses, siblings, or other people accessed decision websites. Stanford Graduate School of Business’s policy of dealing with applicants on a case-by-case basis is more reasonable and flexible...
