    I think Yahoo is not the company it once was because when they had a dating site, it was full of fake profiles.This was playing with peoples' hearts and this was wrong, It gave the company bad karma.

    Laptops are the legacy of Steve Jobs, Dr Strangelove is moving to Mars, Pinkie and the Brain work out of area 51, the Great Googlely Mooglies left the company when they started working for the Pentagon, and Amazon has moved next door to the Pentagon, so they can share the same drones. Yahoo's biggest problem is that its too easy for a giant corporation to make money, and Disney is now working with the porn industry.

    The telecoms never worry about how crappy their products and services are.

    Yahoo is proof it was easy for Google to buy the internet.

    If my browser sits on their site too long I get a nag to disable my ad blocker, "For a better experience" of course!

    Google and Microsoft are working hard to create automated websites and bots people will love to chat with.

  14. Yahoo chat was the best chatroom. I frequented the punk rooms. They should have never closed them down.

    The truth is, Google owns half the internet, Microsoft owns just about every computer, and you can blame all the crap online today on them and the telecoms. They set the standards for formats such as this website uses. People can brag about Sony competing with the Xbox but, the truth is, Microsoft owns the internet that Sony's games play on, and Microsoft even produces the API for Sony games to run on. Sony makes everything imaginable, while Microsoft makes the programs for their hardware to run on. Yahoo is the bastard child of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.
