    Yahoo Releases Firefox Toolbar Beta and quickly finds out that no one uses because of the already implemented search toolbar in FF. Thank you, I have enough sites reading where I'm going, without Yahoo! doing it for every site. Yes, I realize that Y! probably doesn't do that, but the features on the Y! toolbar don't appeal to me at all. I don't need Y! mail, because I use gmail, and I use Google instead of Yahoo because I hate the sponsored results. And somebody please reply and tell me whether or not they're actually putting the popup blocker in...

    coincidence?

    Why are the download buttons both on the right of the screen (I know it can be anywhere, but not many sites before google seemed to put buttons on the right hand side like that).

    Before you link to 100 different sites with the download button on the right, how come the hotmail login has moved to the right hand side of the screen only since gmail did it.

    It seems they are hinting at a google layout (not that this is a bad thing, nor that google owns two column web page layouts), it just seems a bit strange?
