Terry Semel can't get a break. The poor Yahoo CEO just wants to have his passwords handy — it's not like anyone would think to check under his laptop, right? A source says:

I was at this Yahoo! SEM seminar the other day in San Jose sitting between two Yahoo! alums who were catching up shooting the breeze. A comment was made at the seminar about Silicon Valley CEOs not knowing how to change their homepage, hence why many seem to use MSN....One of the guys is friends with Semel's executive assistant who told him that Semel has to tape his passwords to the bottom of his laptop he is so computer illiterate. Thought it was hillarious.

That doesn't seem so bad. Is that enough to earn Semel his company nickname among moguls, "Forrest Gump"?
