  近日,硅谷的科技大腕们齐聚一堂,包括雅虎新任CEO梅耶尔,苹果、谷歌等高管,推特、Path的CEO也都悉数到场。谷歌X部门主管卡西迪还在Facebook上*了一张晚宴照片。让我们来看看这些硅谷精英们之间都存在着哪些扑朔迷离的关系。
  A key reason why Yahoo''s board hired Marissa Mayer as its CEO was her deep-reaching social and professional connections through Silicon Valley。雅虎董事会聘用玛丽莎-梅耶尔为CEO的一大原因是其在硅谷与科技大腕们深厚的人脉关系。
  Those connections were on display last night at a dinner hosted by Nirav Tolia, a longtime Silicon Valley entrepreneur who''s now running Nextdoor, a local social network。这一点在昨晚尼拉夫-托利亚举办的晚宴中得以展现。尼拉夫-托利亚是硅谷*企业家、本地社交网络Nextdoor的负责人。
  A prominent guest: Jony Ive, Apple''s senior vice president of hardware and software design. The CEOs of Twitter, Yelp, Path, and Dropbox were also there. Mike Cassidy, a director of the Google X skunkworks, posted a photo of the dinner on Facebook. A source alerted us to its presence。一大批硅谷科技大腕们齐聚一堂:苹果硬件和软件设计高级副总裁乔纳森-艾维;Twitter、Yelp、Path和Dropbox公司的CEO也悉数到场;谷歌X部门主管迈克-卡西迪出席并在Facebook上*了一张晚宴照片。
  The interconnections between this group are staggering. Think of how Path''s mobile social network relies on Twitter and Apple, for example; or how Apple once courted Dropbox; or how Marissa Mayer, while at Google, reportedly championed an acquisition of Yelp。这些硅谷大佬们之间的关系让人感到惊讶。想想看:Path的移动社交网络依赖于Twitter和苹果;而苹果曾欲收购Dropbox;现任雅虎CEO的玛丽莎-梅耶尔在谷歌时又曾想要收购Yelp。
  We contacted several attendees or their press representatives. Stephanie Ichinose, a spokesperson for Yelp, confirmed CEO Jeremy Stoppelman''s attendance: "He was at a dinner with a bunch of execs last night. Nothing more to report."我们联系了几位与会人员或其媒体代表。Yelp公司发言人史蒂芬妮-伊奇诺斯证实了该公司CEO杰里米-斯托普尔曼出席了宴会的消息,“他昨晚与其他高层们一起出席了晚宴。其他无可奉告。”
  No one else has commented on the event。对此事没有其他更多评论。
