Yahoo Turns 10; Free Ice Cream for America

indiejade writes "It was 10 years ago today that Yahoo was born in a trailer outside Stanford University. Joining the celebration is Baskin Robbins, which is serving up a free scoop of ice cream in honor of the day Yahoo began climbing the ranks from its humble beginning. Founders Jerry Yang and David Filo joined CEO Terry Semel to kick off the stock market opening bell this morning. The Birthday Boys claim that they are happy with the steady growth of their company, and expressed no regrets for their "once upon a time" decision to fund Google. "Competition is good," they said prior to the opening bell this morning."

Ok, so Yahoo put out a big press release for their birthday, and they've got some partnership with Baskin Robbins to give out a free scoop (which is practically NOTHING for them). Whats the big deal? And why is this on Slashdot?
Oh wait, thats right, the editors just post whatever they're paid to post.
