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."

Ice cream?!?! It's like 4 degrees outside!! How about some hot chocolate Baskin Robbins?!
You people have killed the web page! :(
Now I'll never find out how to get free ice cream.
Technology, the cause of and solution to all of life's problems.
Yahoo!'s 10th birthday is today. To celebrate, they're giving away... a scoop of ice cream, courtesy of Baskin Robbins.

I don't know about the rest of the country, but right now in Dallas it's 45 degrees.
Was this a promotion cooked up by Baskin Robbins to boost sales during a slow month? Does anyone else think this is weird?
