Big Questions Hang Over Yahoo at CES

Mayer set to get some of her first face time with major digital agencies

CES isn’t just a critical time for TV manufacturers, tablet companies and electronic roller skate inventors to lay out their wares for the year. It’s also turning out to be a vital time for the future of Yahoo.
