Waterlooppln77 writes "Altavista has recently changed their searchengine to allow more competition with Google.com. It offers a whole set of new features, like searching through PDF documents, and more importantly got rid of the commercial portal thingie." Anyone remember when Alta Vista was the best search engine?

    AltaVista's Marketing Committee:

    "Gee, we need a new logo so people know we've changed."

    "Hey, let's get rid of that nice mountain range, the works with the 'high view' meaning of our name, and give it SWOOSHES!"

    "Great! Every other company has swooshes in their logos, so they must work!"

    ARGH!!!

    Am I the ONLY person who's sick and tired of all these goddamn swoosh logos?
