    So my free account was boosted to 100 Mb this morning and my $20/yr. account has 2Gb and no ads. Very cool. They also seemed to update the interface with CSS...

    The upgrade is available as of this morning. This is certainly a benefit for me, as I use my Yahoo mail account a lot and the spam filter is as good as it gets IMHO.

    Both Yahoo and Google (and possibly a lot of other sites, including www.microsoft.com) are down right now.
    They all use Akamai (akadns.net) for their DNS, and that's what's down.
