"We want to be their home on the Web," she said at the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference in San Francisco, where she answered questions from a financial analyst and from attendees. "We owe them a fun, easy experience, that is also non-frustrating," she said, criticizing the company for having products that have been neglected and abandoned "floating like debris in space."
