6:14 AM Yahoo (YHOO) paid Marissa Mayer $38.6M for her first six months of service as CEO, FT reports. A proxy filing shows Mayer's compensation will be tied to revenue growth (as opposed to profits or cash flow) going forward as "shareholders [have expressed] a deep conviction … that the Yahoo compensation program needs a much greater focus on pay for performance."

by Sneha Shah

The Seattle giant Microsoft (MSFT) has seen its stock increase by ~10% in the past month despite Windows 8 seeing disappointing sales. The IDC PC shipment report had led to dumping of "PC stocks" as PC sales declined by a greater than expected 14% in Q1 2013.
