Mashable - Bart Stein may not be a household name, but if you follow tech news, there's a good chance you've seen his face before.
In October 2012, Stamped, a mobile recommendations app that Stein cofounded, was acquired by Yahoo. It marked the first acquisition by the Internet giant under Marissa Mayer, who had taken over as CEO three months earlier. In a picture circulated widely that day, Stein is seen smiling alongside Mayer and his two cofounders. That group would soon be responsible for helping Yahoo to catch up on mobile by building out a team in New York.

If you're buying a Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9+ from Verizon, expect to see Yahoo-based apps and Bixby news content on your devices in the near future.
Only stupid people buy phones on plans anyway, so this is right up their alley.
Buy CLEAN phone crapware-free for $500 now, or pay $3,000 for crapware-filled phone over 2 years...
Hmm hard decisions...
