Though it's none of our business, it's also not an assumption :)

> Mayer first disclosed to the Yahoo board that she is pregnant in late June, in a meeting with Michael Wolf, a member of the board's four-person CEO search committee. A meeting with the search committee followed, and then Mayer met with the full board last Wednesday. None of the Yahoo directors, she says, revealed any concern about hiring a pregnant chief executive. "They showed their evolved thinking," says Mayer, who got the phone call last Thursday that she was the board's choice to be CEO.

Thought of a couple recent tragic tech star fatalities:
- Former Amazon CFO Joy Covey was killed by a car while bicycling in September: http://postcards.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2013/09/19/joy-covey-amazon/
- Oculus Rift co-founder Andrew Reisse killed in August in the crosswalk during a police chase. Not on a bike, and not in normal traffic conditions, but tragic nonetheless: http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2013/06/02/oculus-rift-co-found…
