Google Vs. Yahoo: When We Last Met...

I-R-Baboon writes "The New York Times has this article on the battle between the once #1 Yahoo and the current champion and #1 Google. Yahoo wants it's throne back and is ready to throw the gloves off and mix it up with Google. But can the uncluttering of their page, toning down the ads, and using some features not currently offered on Google give them their title back?" Of course, Yahoo! will have to get in line behind Microsoft as well.

  1. Linux vs FreeBSD by LinuxXPHybrid · · Score: -1, Troll

    So Yahoo is going to build (enhance) their version of super iron computer. Interesting to see how they approach from OS standpoint. If I remember correctly, Google has clustered Linux machines. Yahoo primarily uses FreeBSD. Do they keep using FreeBSD? FreeBSD super cluster? Can using BSD possibly give advantage to Yahoo?
