The sky has fallen down and the world is ending! Yahoo is being acquired by the 500Ib Redmond beast. Who in a million years would ever think that this day will ever come? I remember many years ago about using an excellent service called hotmail.com. It was the best e-mail service. But as soon as the 500Ib gorilla acquired it, that service went down the toilet and became a joke. Then there was WebTV. Where is it? WebT what? Now, Yahoo? May God help us, because in 5 yrs it may be Google's turn to go to bed with the beast. I prefer that the Beast acquire Google now so it can de-construct it and lay it to waste as quickly as possible. Please leave Yahoo alone!!! I don't think by acquiring Yahoo, the beast can make any improvement in its competition with the Googledontbevilbutbevilanyway.</p> At last, the unthinkable has happened.
