Despite highly publicized stories of a falsified degree listing on his resume, Yahoo!’s CEO Scott Thompson still holds his position as of early Wednesday afternoon. Despite calls from one of Yahoo’s largest invested hedge funds  for his resignation and financial mogul Warren Buffet’s less than flattering statements to the same effect, Thompson has given no indication that he intends to do so.
