First Bytes: Yahoo sans Icahn, Comcast, Kodak, More...

-- Carl Icahn is sooo over Yahoo, which holds its annual meeting today. Expect chief executive Jerry Yang to face shareholder wrath, all the same. [Bloomberg]

-- The F.C.C. is set to punish Comcast today for violating federal internet policy, as GOP minority leader John Boehner scolds the commission for being "heavy handed." Will the cable giant challenge the ruling in court? [Wired]

-- Kodak, which I've been told is a company that used to make photographic equipment (still does?), reported 14 percent lower profits. Its shares sank over 7 percent. [AP]

-- Inside the secret world of Web trolls. [NYT]
