Actor in Jackie Chan movies I think.. Isn't he the guy who gets his ass kicked 30 times in the first scene? :shock:
All hail my new signature!

Admit it. You're secretly green with envy.

Yahoo is basically all bloggers these days with the occasional actual article from NY times or AP

And its vehemently anti-Microsoft, claiming that Apple products are the greatest computers on the face of the planet. And that Steve jobs is nothing short of the messiah, they'll be announcing Jobsianism any day now

I had problems for years with Yahoo mail automatically trashing mail with attachments over some ridiculously small size limit. I got a gmail account as soon as I could, and migrated away from Yahoo.

Yahoo News has always sucked. Years ago I was better able to control what appeared in my newsfeed, but then they made it more difficult. I DON'T want to see celebrity gossip, but that seemed to be their specialty. I don't CARE what happened to Brangelina etc.

I gave up on Yahoo search as soon as Google launched its own engine and proved faster and better.

So no Yahoo anymore.

But lately, Google has started to suck more and more...

Since Google came up with its search engine, it's hard to imagine anyone using anything else.

I used to have Yahoo just as a home page, but now I use Google just because it's simplicity makes for a much faster start up when I launch the browser.

If you want an even faster startup, try using a blank page as your "home page".

Ads? What are those?

My aunt and my cousin's girlfriend both work in the advertising industry. I casually mentioned that I use adblockplus at dinner and there was a burst of silence. :rollin:

Well, there is an option to show non-intrustive ads, but yeah, the marketing people ought to be scared.  Technology has just about...

Saying "I think that believing in God is stupid" probably would have gone over better.

Missed opportunity for them to figure out how to become better at their jobs, I guess.
