    To no one's surprise, Ross Levinsohn is leaving Yahoo (YHOO) after being passed over for the CEO job in favor of Marissa Mayer. Levinsohn struck many content deals during his time as interim CEO, and also settled disputes with Alibaba and Facebook.

Update: Yahoo's North American sales chief has also quit. (earlier)
