Yahoo Killing Maps, Pipes & More

Posted by samzenpus on from the so-long dept.

alphadogg writes: Yahoo is shutting down its mapping service, Pipes and reducing the availability of Yahoo TV and Yahoo Music. The company has decided instead to focus on three major parts of its business: search, communications, and digital content. "We made this decision to better align resources to Yahoo's priorities as our business has evolved since we first launched Yahoo Maps eight years ago," says the company.

    I use pipes every single day in bash. What are we supposed to do now, redirect everything into a temporary file, like in the early days? That gets cumbersome with many steps, and anyway it is less multi-processor efficient, and CPUs have more than one core these days!
